What Are Some Good and Reliable Scholarship Websites?
Answered

I've been struggling to find good scholarship websites that are trustworthy and worth my time. So far, I've looked at Go Merry and Bold.org. Are these websites safe and reliable? Are there any other sites I should look at?

I know that Bold.org is reliable, but it can take a while to win a scholarship. However, they have plenty of no-essay scholarships you can apply to so don't worry too much.

I have looked and applied to both Going Merry and Bold.org, and I would say that both of them are safe and reliable but it is very hard to win a scholarship since many people are familiar with both of these websites, more and more people apply to them. Some other sities that you could look at and are safe/reliable are College Board Opportunity Scholarships and Niche.

I think Go Merry and Bold.org are safe. I use them both, more so Bold.org, however, I never won a scholarship from either site. Winning scholarships is hard. I recommend you try to apply for state aid it is a guaranteed aid if you meet the requirements.

While I'm also not sure of many others, I know that Going Merry is safe and reliable because it's recommended by my school and I've also applied to some though there as well as Bold.

I think Bold.org is safe, I’ve applied but I haven’t won a scholarship yet.
