I applied to the Burger King Scholarship and won $1,000 I had a 3.7 GPA and 1400 SAT score a short essay is needed and you do not need to work at burger king. Also local scholarships! Do some searching and you will find some at least. Best of luck to you!

Also there are tiktok accounts that post these scholarship opportunities. I recommend looking at these and just go and apply, even if you do not feel qualified. You cannot win a scholarship if you do not apply. Best of luck! If you have any other questions let me know.
