🎓 Scholarships: Free Money for Your Education

Paying for college can feel overwhelming—but scholarships can make a big difference. Scholarships are free money that you don't have to repay, and every dollar you receive is one less you'll need to borrow. Even if a scholarship is only $100, it’s worth your time to apply. For every $100 you might win, that’s $100 less in student loans—and considering the average student loan borrower pays nearly $2 for every dollar borrowed, small awards add up quickly.

Don’t overlook smaller or local scholarships, and don’t let the larger ones intimidate you. Apply for any and all scholarships where you meet most of the requirements—sometimes, you may be the only applicant, and that could make you the recipient!

Scholarship funds are out there, but it does take some effort to access them. Start early, stay organized, and apply widely. The investment of your time now can pay off in a big way later.

 

📋Where to Start

Scholarships are listed on our webpage by category and application due date, so it’s easy to find what fits your situation. Check back often, as new opportunities are added regularly.
