hi, i recently got into northeastern's london scholars program and i'm super excited, but they didn't award me much financial aid and i won't be able to go unless i receive external funding. does anyone know of scholarships that are easy to apply to and not very prestigious? i'm hoping to win small amounts that will hopefully add up and make a difference. any help is appreciated, thank you so much!
guys, how impossible is it to get a scholarship in the UK, is it as hard as everyone says it is, or is it possible if your are not a very high-achieving student.
I have to write 4000 characters in support of my application to a scholarship, but there are no given instructions on what to write. What should I write in this instance? I've already mentioned past achievements in my personal statement, which is part of the application, so apart from motivation, not sure what to add. Any help appreciated!
I got into St.Johns with a good scholarship and Financial aid will cover the rest of the fees so it is full. I won't be living on campus and want to major in Biomedical Sciences. I got in to the Honors Program. I will be doing Pre- meds too. Is it a good option compared to Stony Brook? I want both the university life and good education, and I might wanna join any sports team if available.
I've been applying to a few general Bold.org scholarships and every time I apply, I never get the notification that my scholarship application was reviewed. Does this mean they didn't read mine along with the other people who submitted?
Some people at my school have won some bold scholarships, but I'm starting to think that some donors skip over applications and it's making me a little skeptical. Let me know guys.
I've heard how trump is going to try to tax scholarships, how would he do this? How likely? What are your opinions?
Hi everybody! I was wondering if anyone had any scholarship websites that were particularly friendly/easier to filter for graduate scholarships? Also, if anybody has any recommendations for specific scholarships I would also much appreciate (I'm first-gen, going into law school for criminal law, female if that helps narrow it down) I've used a few, but a lot seem to be more undergrad/senior in high school oriented. Thanks!
For reference I go to a small school (the highschool has about 230 students) in northeast Washington. Right now I'm am in tenth grade but I feel like it's better to start resuring scholarships now instead of later.
Hello all,
I was writing this post because I was curious if I should thank my scholarship donor.
I was recently awarded a scholarship I did not sign up for and it looks like it's legit (Paul Hagan Scholarship" but due to me not signing up for it I still am in disbelief. I recently improved my grades by a lot and finished last semester with a 3.5. This is a need based scholarship and my school awards need based scholarships to students that need it but after being in school for 2-3 years and having around the same GPA I never received anything of the sort. I was hesitant to contact them and thank them for this award because I am still in a state of confusion as this is my first scholarship and in my mind, I think they awarded this to me by a mistake. So I am asking you all, do I reach out and thank them or do I give it some time before I send a thank you letter?
Hi, I’m looking to attend the Academy of Art university in California and need as much student aid as possible. While I wait for my FAFSA and Portfolio to be processed I would like to fill out as many scholarships that can cross over to this school as possible, do you guys know where I can look?

Hey,
I applied to a bunch of scholarships in senior year of hs, but was wondering if there are any that I can apply to now that I'm in college. Maybe some focused around social impact or technology (computer science). Ideally none of the no essay ones/randomly selected.
Thanks!

Hi, I was am very lucky to receive a full ride to college. Throughout high school, I won some external scholarships. I was wondering if anyone had tips on writing a letter to the financial aid office requesting reimbursement. I don't see much about this online. Or is that something typically not done? Thanks!
I tried doing this today and was wondering if it has worked for anyone. Lmk :)

My BF received scholarships to go back to school to earn our associates degrees, he was never able to finish before getting accepted into a bachelors program also with scholarship. He was working on both degrees at the same time. He now owes 3k to his associates' degree college. The first college says that both colleges released Pell-grant funds for him to go to school. He's been asking why the Pell grants were released to both colleges without his knowledge and neither financial aid department has any answers. We do not have this kind of money to pay back, and worst, he was not able to finish his associates degree. Any advice on how to handle this?
Does anybody know when it opens? It’s usually due in March but it’s the end of January and I don’t see anything on the website.
Looking for scholarships, I’m going to school in Utah and am working three jobs to make ends meet. I don’t qualify for FASFA and I don’t have enough times to join clubs in my university. Where do you find scholarships aside from what your school offers? How do you make yourself more seen in those scholarships?

I'm an FGLI student and I'm applying for scholarships and have a (pretty) unique story, but I want to know how you guys think I can maximize my chances of winning. Ty <333
Hey guys!! I got into a bunch of colleges up till now and have been getting a few of their top scholarships. I’m incredibly grateful for the scholarships I’ve been provided but when I subtract my amount from the total annual cost it still comes down to roughly 30-40k for each. My efc is 15-20k max (if I really try, but realistically its 15k). I’m now looking for good external scholarships that could be applied towards my tuition/expenses.
I’m aware of the resources and databases available but I wanna know abt scholarships that WORKED for you as an international student. If there’s any you’ve applied to, or any you previously applied to, please share!! Tysm and good luck everyone for ur applications <3
