Scholarship Search Sites

Tips for your scholarship search:

  1. Start early. Most scholarships are awarded six months to one year prior to the start of the semester or academic year of the award. Some awards are available even as early as elementary school.
  2. Apply, Apply, Apply! Each year, many scholarship funds are not awarded because no one applied for them. If you meet some or all of the eligibility criteria listed for a scholarship, apply! The more you apply for, the better your chances are at receiving external scholarship funds.
  3. Prepare your resume and personal statement. Many external scholarships require a resume or personal statement. Be sure to have a trusted individual, teacher, or tutor edit your documents prior to submitting them with your scholarship applications. 
  4. Track your applications. Use our scholarship game plan to help keep track of the scholarships that you are applying for. Download a copy of this document here.
