A SAMPLING OF SCHOLARSHIPS

A SAMPLING OF SCHOLARSHIPS

Many schools provide scholarships to students with financial need or on the basis of merit. Every school has their own rules about who, how much, and what kind of scholarships to award each year. Some schools do not offer any merit scholarship money. For students who don’t qualify for financial aid and are looking for scholarship money to help with expenses, there are a wide variety of opportunities to choose from.

Most private scholarships are aimed at a specific group of students (e.g. engineers, female STEM students, athletes, students of a specific race or background) Some are looking for broader qualifications such as leadership experience. The list below is an example of the kinds of scholarships that exist and may be worth looking into:
