I am a Junior in high school, and I am completely determined to win at least one scholarship this year. I keep a notebook for all important things like scholarships, financial aid, testing deadlines, how to open a bank account and savings, etc. I wanted to share with you all some websites I use to find scholarships!

  1. Bold.org
  2. GoingMerry
  3. Tallo (of course I had to include this one)
  4. CollegeBoard
  5. CFNC
  6. Niche
  7. CollegeVine
  8. CollegeExpress
  9. AccessScholarships
  10. Fastweb

These are just my top 10, there are a lot more than that😅. I might do a separate post for where I find volunteer opportunities as well.

    @8662865 Thank you so much for sharing. I know that these will be helpful.

    I also use (which I am sure are on your more that you use list):

    DoSomething.org

    Scholarship Points

    Tallo

    I used to use Scholarship Owl until the started charging money

    A great discussion question to put would also be which sites did you win scholarships from? I have not won a scholarship from any of these sites listed except 1. I have had more luck with community based scholarships that you can locate through the city you live in.

    Best wishes

    I actually haven't won from any of these quite yet 😅, although I did win a short story competition in my area with a $500 prize.

    @8662865 congratulations on winning that scholarship.

    I applied for 500 scholarships and I believe I won a totally 5 scholarships.

    I am still applying. Good luck and best wishes.

    Ooh, good resources. SallieMae is also good, as are Raise.me and Cappex. Thanks for sharing, and congrats on the story contest.
