You can try:

bold.org

raiseme.com

fastweb.com

scholarships.com

cappex.org

collegenet.com.

College boards site also has a scholarship search engine that can help you find scholarships that pertain to you and who you are or what major you will be going into. Hope this helps!

I'm a high school senior and here's some sources I have been using for the past four years-

fastweb.com

scholarships.com

goingmerry.com

bold.org

cappex.com

Tons of students use those websites, so the "no essay" scholarships provided by those websites are very hard to win. They also list so many scholarships that it can be hard to sort through, but find scholarships that you qualify for and keep an organized list of due dates, requirements, etc.

I also HIGHLY recommend looking into scholarships provided by your local community. If your town doesn't have its own scholarship foundation, I recommend researching and contacting local businesses to see who offers scholarships. The more you apply to and the more specialized the scholarship, the better your chances are of winning! Also, your high school counselor should be able to share info on any local scholarships with you. Counselors are a great resource. Goodluck!

I'm a sophomore in high school and I, personally, have been looking for scholarships since my freshman year. Personally I like to use the following websites:

Bold.org

Cappex.com

Fastweb.com

Scholarships.com

Students.myoptions.org (This website will take you to different websites based on the scholarship you choose, this is normal. I personally do not use this often but it will connect you with colleges quickly.)

Just like @daisy08 said, many students use these websites so the "no essay" scholarships are very hard to get. Bold.org has a lot of those types of scholarships so the chances of winning one are low but definetly not zero. I prefer scholarships that are geared towards things that I'm interested in at the moment.

Hope this helps!
