Merit-based Scholarships
Answered

What are some good outside scholarships to apply to that are not based on demonstrated financial need? Are there particular sites or places to find them?

I've been using this website to help find scholarships! https://bold.org/

They have scholarships funded by the organization behind the website and outside donors. There's a big variety of scholarships there! Hope this helps.

Is this website legit? I wonder how many people actually receive scholarships. I had been signed up to the website, but most scholarships would ask me to sign up for things (newsletter for ex.) and I would never receive anything, not even a follow up email.

I wondered about that before I signed up too, but every source I can find say they’re legit. I haven’t won anything, but I haven’t been on there for long. Either way, it’s free and a lot of scholarships are no-essay so it can’t really hurt to try it.
