Hi everyone,
I’m an undergraduate student looking for scholarships specifically for creative writing or drawing. If you know of any opportunities, competitions, or grants that support these fields, I’d really appreciate your recommendations!
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi everyone! I'm looking for software or tools that can help students like me find local/non-competitive scholarships. If anyone knows of any platforms or resources that can assist with discovering scholarships in the area, I’d really appreciate your suggestions. Thanks in advance!

I’m currently having trouble looking for scholarships I’ve applied for a lot of the famous ones but I know it’s less likely to get those, anyone know where to find essay scholarships that aren’t too popular?

Niche.com doesn't have any more matches for me after I applied to 5+. StudentWallet.org doesn't work - I have my major filled in for instance and it shows me whatever. I can't hack it on websites that just have category listings - choose minority, and scholarships that don't match my GPA, location, etc come up. Choose my state, and scholarships with specific requirements I don't fit come up and so on... all things that can be helped by filtering out scholarships I don't qualify for with my profile. Scholarships.com is also showing just a few scholarships, some that clash with my profile. Are there other websites?

I’ll try to keep this as short as possible.

In high school, I had very good grades. I only got 2 Bs and 1 C for all of my high school career. When including AP and Pre-AP classes, my GPA was 4.2 when graduating.

I’m from a small town in the country, where they push community college. I ended up not applying for scholarships, and paying for community college out of pocket ($2,500 a semester). This happened during covid so i was both discouraged and unfamiliar with the college system.

I fell into a deep depression, and my grades worsened. I failed a class, got a couple Cs and Bs. Went for one year, took a year off, then did the same thing the next year. I now have a 2 year General Studies degree, paid $10,000 for school out of pocket, and my college GPA is around 3.1.

I’m interested in going back to school, but I have credit card debt, a car loan, and I’m not looking to get into more debt.

My ultimate question is, is there any way I can use my great high school GPA to help me get scholarships rather than focusing on my college GPA? I know this may seems like a dumb question but I just want to get back into college with spending the least money possible.

Hoping this is okay to ask here.

There is a gap inbetween my studies due to a complicated pregnancy. I have the necessary documents to back it up. But on the master scholarship application it asks to explain these circumstances.

I kept it brief (5000 word count!! But I used like 1000....) But wondering what do I really need to add??

In reality it was rough because I found out my ex cheated and stole my money and ran away. Obviously not going to write that down.

Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks!

Anyone know of scholarships out there for community college students transferring over to a four year university. I’m attending a state school in the fall of 25 and have a 4.0 and in the honors program at my community college currently. I’ll be majoring in finance at my uni

Hi,

I’m an over thinker and an oncoming college freshman.

I have no clue how to write an answer to an Essay question.

Because I thought that we’re not supposed to write in first person when writing an essay. But the I get questions like, “Describe a time in your life… etc.” and I have no clue how to respond or even start.

Like I’m guessing they want MLA format, but I’ve only ever written English essays. So what’s different and what’s the same???

Any tips will be welcomed!

Hello, I’m in the process of turning in scholarships so I can afford college next fall. I am interested in Data Science, but all the ones I find online aren’t for high school seniors, or I don’t meet the criteria. Any help?

I can never tell which scholarships are legit and which just want my contact info. I am in foster care, NY/SUNY, female and a music production major if any of that info makes me more scholarship-worthy.

Hey, so over the course of this week I have been working on the Coolidge scholarship and I'm unsure on how to approach essays 2 and 3. I don't know if it is best to write in a formal, academic manner or to relate Coolidge's beliefs and policies to my personal experiences.

Could any scholars, finalists, or senators state how they approached these questions. Anyone else applying sharing their thoughts would also be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I am very new to applying for scholarships but I feel like I may qualify for some that I had no idea about and wanted to ask for some help. Here is some info about me:

• Live in Georgia

• 4.25 Weighted GPA

• 1340 SAT

• I have participated in the Audio Video program my school for my entire highschool career and have been asked by our basketball and football team to make edits for them.

• I recently submitted a video for a countywide film festival and will recieve results on December 12. I am very confident I will recieve a trophy

• I run 2 YouTube channels where I post my videos from A/V and a growing side hobby where I make tablatures for bass guitar. The channels are "Shaleelag" and "TennesseeBassTabs"

I have already been accepted into KSU and will apply to OSU (Oklahoma State) soon, but I really want to ensure that I have minimized student loans.

I want to major in Finance, but really anything that brings me into a business field. I know film doesn't really pay the bills, despite my passion for it.

What are some scholarships I am missing? Is there anything important I may have left out? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE 🫶🫶🫶🫶

One of my scholarships requires one reccomendation from a teacher and one "personal reccomendation from someone who knows you well." It can't be a family member but that's the only thing outlined. Can I have a friend fill this out? A neighbor? I'm a little confused by it.

Hello, I am applying to the Hagan Scholarship for the 2025-2026 school year (college freshmen) and was wondering if the December 1st, 2024 due date is for the 24-25 or the 25-26 academic school year?

I saw something about it retroactively counting for the fall semester so does that mean the 2024 due date is for the former time period? If not, I only have a few days to apply as I did not realize it was due this early. I'm currently on Thanksgiving break and don't have a good way of contacting my guidance counselor, so it would help to know if I have a whole year to fill out my application instead of a few days. Thank you in advance!

As I was away at school today, my mom got a congratulations letter for Chicago Loyola and opened. The letter said I got in among other things but she also said I won the Presidential scholarship and medallion which pays up to 31k. I was just wondering, could my essay have been that extraordinary or what are the requirements exactly? My grades and SAT were nothing exceptional at all.

How does one win a full ride scholarship? I have straight A's/4.0, perfect attendance, top 8% of my class.

my school has been absolutely useless when it comes to helping out and guiding me in the right direction and it’s overwhelming always finding scholarships that have been opened for a whole year and likely have tons of applicants so you know you’re unlikely to get chosen? does anyone know of any super niche or low competition scholarships? or just other funding sources in general? my spring semester is going to have around a 2 grand gap I’m hoping to fill.

Paying for pre-med and med school sounds like a nightmare, are there scholarships that directly try to relieve some of that pressure specifically for med students?

Hello , I have a PROS disorder / lymphatic malformation which is about 1/30,000 ish . How exactly have you guys gone about getting scholarships for things like this , do you just keep on looking hoping to find something ?

Guys this is my first post i wanted to ask about the universities which provide 100percent scholarships

For those pursuing a Bachelors in Nursing with the scholarship, what school did you choose?

Hey, I'm not sure if this is the right sub to ask, so sorry in advance😅! I'm trying to apply for scholarships as I'll graduate high school 2025. Looking around, a lot of the multiples scholarship are for twins or triplets, and ones for larger orders are mainly university-specific. For context, I'm a quadruplet that doesn't qualify for financial need and I'm hoping to study computer/electrical engineering. Am I not looking hard enough or in the right places? Any suggestions would be great!

I just tonight decided what career I want to peruse after years of being lost. I spent all day looking at schools and scholarships and filling out my fafsa, yet I don’t know if it’s even feasible to start school anytime soon. There is a program near me that starts mid January but all the scholarships I saw are closed for this school year. I don’t want to get loans and I don’t qualify for nearly the amount needed to start. I just turned 24 so I am now independent student, last time I was in school was in 2019 where I was part of a running start program so I have no idea how to navigate getting into school. Does anyone know if scholarships only work for the beginning of the year, will I have to wait for the 2025-26 school year?

I’m in a unique boat with the pandemic halting me pursuing my career goal, as well as a career change midway before that. I transferred to a competitive nursing program USFCA. I got accepted into the program, however I am looking for ways to ease the burden of expenses. I have a 3.7 GPA, have two Associates Degree, apart of Phi Thetta Kappa (Honors Club), was a foster youth child that stopped when i was 12… additionally I turned 26 so a lot of the programs I could have used have lapses. I totally wished I knew about these programs and resources earlier. I know it’s a long shot but has anyone else found scholarships or grants that I could look into. I also am an EMT and have been working as one for five years just in case there are something that could apply to that. Thanks in advance. If this post isn’t allowed let me know….

can anyone give me some ideas to write about these topics? 1-In no more than 500 words, describe an instance from your personal experience where you took an active role in promoting equality, inclusion of others who are different from you in some way, and/or respect within your community․

2. Reflect on a time when you confronted a difficult circumstance and managed to overcome it. How did you face this challenge and what did you learn?

3. Some students have an experience, background, identity, interest, or talent that has been critical in shaping their lives. If this sounds like you, please share this aspect of your life with us and how it shaped your identity.

How has this impacted you and what have you learned about your own personal growth?
