I'm in search of scholarships that might not be as competitive to get. We all know how hard the big ones can be, so was hoping you guys could drop me some suggestions on ones that particularly favor guys. Any leads are much appreciated!
While it's pretty hard to say which scholarships are the easiest to obtain, as it largely comes down to varying factors such as the number of applicants each year and the specifics of each individual's profile, there are definitely multiple scholarships available that are specifically dedicated to male students that you could consider.

4. The National Hook-Up of Black Women Inc. (NHBW) Scholarship
This scholarship is open to all African American students, including men, who are high school seniors planning to attend a two-year community college, four-year college or university, trade or technical school in the coming year.
