I just noticed the list last night. Noone from our school is qualified (usually 2 qualifies every year). Not only that, but also no one from the top schools (with the most NMSF students) in my city/state qualified. It looks so much different than previous years.

Feels like private school student qualifications and top public schools' qualifications are much lower if not flat out zero qualification.

Please recommend scholarships that fit my profile and that I might have a chance at. Any help is welcome; I'm kinda cooked for paying for college...

Demographics:

Maryland resident (not Baltimore)

Mixed Race (white/black) Female

Rural public school

Probably won't qualify for financial need (complicated situation that's too hard to explain to a scholarship, so it looks like I can pay a whole lot more than I actually can)

Academics:

GPA: 4.0/4.0 UW, 4.85/5.0 W

1560 SAT (770 rw/790 math, first try)

10 APs (CSA, BC Calc, Gov, Lang, World, Bio, Stats all 5’s, taking Lit, Chem, Psych this year)

Pretty much every class aside from requirements (pe, arts credit) is honors or advanced. I’ve taken up to Linear Algebra in math and am taking a Calc III equivalent this year, both for college credit.

Major: Biological Sciences, with a pre-med focus

Main ECS:

Leadership role in club where I organized and taught free weekend classes in Python and HTML to 150+ MS/ES kids (10-12)

HOSA - member (11-12), placed internationally in A&P

Internship - hands-on research intern experience at a research lab at GWU (not an established program I just cold emailed)

Girl Scout of 13 years, only Bronze Award tho, focused more on mentoring younger scouts

K-pop Dance Team (9-12) performing in and outside of school, taught younger members

DECA member (10-12)

HSAFP member

NHS, SNHS, Mu Alpha Theta member

Awards:

International finalist HOSA A&P

National Merit Semifinalist

State Service Award (373 hrs)

National Recognition (rural/small town)

Distinguished AP Scholar

Hello, I'm trying to find a scholarship that involves writing some creative fiction but can't seem to find any legit ones.

I'm looking into the L. Ron Hubbard & Scholastic Art and Writing scholarships but would love to find more! Thanks in advance if anybody can help!

Please be gentle with me, I'm new to this. I've had a few concerns about student's submissions being used to train AI and some people thinking the contest contract looks suspicious. Could I get a fresh pair of eyes and some opinions? Do you think this scholarship is legitimate?

Hi! Has anyone received the Marymount Education Foundation Scholarship at Mount Saint Mary’s University Los Angeles, or know anything about it? How competitive is it, and what was the application process like? I would really appreciate hearing about your experience. Thank you!

Hello I have applied to wgu. I start my classes in August it’s currently the last of 2 weeks of October. When is a good time to apply for scholarships or could I start now?

So I ended up going to an online school and graduated early (I graduated in June but I was supposed to be C/O '27, I wasn’t expecting to graduate early). I’ve submitted my college apps for my chosen colleges but I’m just not sure what I’m considered when applying for scholarships.

I currently go to Alabama a&m university, but i cant keep up with the cost (8k excluding federal loans). I have a 3.5 gpa currently however my high school gpa and performance in general was pretty low (2.3), and I'm not really a stand out guy in general. After asking around it seems apparent that most people CAME here with a scholarship. Now I'm in my sophomore year with a balance in the thousands with nothing to help me but praying a few raffle scholarships go through. Are there any full ride or options (other than private loans) that can allow me to stay? Any recommendations given my situation

I’m currently trying to write an essay to be in the Honors program at the University I’ll be attending next year. For the essay the topic is: “Please describe an academic or community service experience that has been meaningful to you. What did you learn from this experience, and how do you envision continuing this engagement in the UAB Honors College?" I’ve volunteered at a Sunday school for 3 years now and this is my first year teaching students in my own classroom. I teach them their islamic studies and how to read Arabic. It’s very difficult to get a first grader to understand that every letter can make 7 different sounds and that the letters do not look the same together so I look for any way to make it easier for them. If you guys have any suggestions on how I could connect things I would appreciate it! I want to get this application done before the end of November.

I'm an in-state high school senior applying to Ohio State, and I recently scored a 1570 on the SAT.

For a long time now, I've been looking into OSU's merit scholarships, specifically the full-ride opportunities, and I've seen that that the presidential scholarship has a requirement of a 1600 SAT or 36 ACT, so I dedicated all of my time to try and acquire this.

I missed the SAT requirement by 30 points, and I have no other chance before the early action deadline. I was wondering if there's any possibility anyone who doesn't fully meet the expectations receives the scholarship as well. I doubt I would be qualified for any other meaningful scholarship apart from one solely based off of test scores, as I have not been an exceptional student throughout high school and my SAT is by far the strongest part of my application.

I understand my chances are slim, but Ohio State is my dream school, and I am unable to attend without a full or substantial ride, so this scholarship is truly crucial for me.

1. Has anyone ever received the presidential scholarship without a perfect score?
2. Is there any possibility and exception will be made if I contact the right people?
3. Are there alternative scholarships that could give me a substantial money off?

I'm having such a difficult time finding scholarships. They seem so specific like "Florida resident studying engineering at Texas university". Where can I find MONEY. Useful website tips? THANK YOU.

I was wondering if anyone knew about the upcoming "Bold Points Rewards" redemption feature on Bold.org. At the moment, points can only be converted into money that's used to pay off student debt. I've just noticed that a new feature is listed as "coming soon, " and wanted to ask has anyone else seen this before, and if so , for how long? I'm curious whether it's genuinely new and launching soon or if it has been sitting around on the UI for ages

I decided not to go to college last year due to funding, and the scholarship hunt is tedious to begin with. Are there any scholarships that might be better for me to apply for?

I received the email stating to upload bank details and submit the parent declaration form , after that its pretty silent... Has anyone received it yet ??

I’m coming up on my second year of my A.S. degree at a local state college. I want to transfer to a university here in Florida, preferably USF. FAFSA’s pell grant is covering my tuition at the state college completely and I just filled out the 2027 form and received a 0 for my SAI. From what I’ve seen, the COA is about 6k per semester, but I don’t think FAFSA will cover this in whole. I’ve been looking into scholarships and grants to apply to but all of them are only 1k each. The only decent scholarship is Bright Futures but that’s only for high school students. How do people afford to transfer to uni?

I’m a 34 year old woman and returning to school after a long break. I would like to see if there are any recommendations for scholarships for someone my age or returning students. TIA!

Does it actually help with finding scholarships? I wanna hear what yall have to say 🤔 I’m starting to look at scholarships that are offered outside my college and I wanna know what worked best for yall to find scholarships.
