OK, Scholarships:
Not Our Thing, but...
Hey-----WE LOVE FREE MONEY! Don't get us wrong.
​
However, this sounds a little more like a HS Counselor thing. Or Perhaps a Discord, Reddit, or AI thing. We are all for the competitive spirit involved with applying for these Individual Scholarships but - blah. It sounds rather exhausting.
​
Now, of course we LOVE the AUTOMATIC SCHOLARSHIPS from the State/Region or the Institution itself because they take no extra effort and many just magically POP-UP on most "College FA offers" (in many states).
​
That said, what we're gonna do is list out the Top 10 Scholarship Sites we've heard of from HS Counselors, Colleges, Students, AI, & Google Searches. They basically are listed for the volume of scholarships available or overall reviews.
NOTE: If it was me (w/ solid grades or test scores, and activities or affiliations etc...),
I may invest in getting an Expert/Coach to help me out. There are some out there that might charge $1000 or more---but if I was to get $5k in FREE MONEY by working
with them, I could really care less about their compensation. Just a thought.
​
Anyway, here are those Top 10 Sites w/ Links!

So, "The Word on the Street" is that these Scholarships are highly competitive & some may not even be legit (within the sites). However, most of us know someone that has landed at least one---and WE KNOW our HS Counselors have!
Definitely give them a shot! *Just make sure you get some info on "best practices, tips, & red-flags" before you begin...
​​
Like mentioned above, if it was me---I would really consider a Guide or Expert to point me toward Specific Sites and Individual Scholarships they have had good luck with (or actually have relationships with those Decision Makers). That's just me.
Anyway, we've seen a few out there---but we've been following the group below for a few months, &
they seem to have good info and great reviews.
Sounds like they could be worth a look...
