Personally I haven't had any luck with scholarships on your typical bold.org, niche, whatever. I have done Raise me and my money has been submitted so that's a good thing but I feel I have to do more so I'm not a completely broke college student.
Try Scholarship America! They are more legitimate to me because CollegeBoard also utilizes its platform to give scholarships.
i use scholarships.com they ask you questions and then they find scholarships that match your answers
I've found GoingMerry really helpful and easier to use than other platforms.
I just started using an app called "Bold.org which is a pretty good app so far . A lot of the scholarships you don't have to write essays for . This app is legit tho . I had to Google myself before using it .
