Have u ever got scholarships during ur studies, if yes, any thoughts of any websites/app to recommend

I had three main ones in college. One was a scholarship the school offered based on my SAT and ACT scores. Another was a theater scholarship that I auditioned for. The third was the Hope scholarship, which is the state lottery-funded scholarship that I qualified for because I went to a school in my home state.

Yes, I had some scholarships. But this was 50 years ago. There are many more opportunities to get scholarships now. (I had to pay half of my college- my parents paid the other half.)

I'm a straight white man, so no chance for me.

In addition to the websites that EVERYONE will be checking out, try scholarships specific to the places you wish to attend, and any clubs/NPO's to which you might belong. Also, specific to your areas of study/expertise, such as ASME is you are an Engineer, etc.

@Massageman Been there, done all of that. My sister, whose GPA was.7 lower than mine, and whose extracurricular qualifications (community service/volunteer work, club activities, academic leadership roles, achievement in sports, work experience, internship) were also much lower, had no problem getting scholarships. The same was true of my fellow students who were minorities.

During my studies, I was fortunate to receive a scholarship which significantly supported my education journey. It emphasized the importance of financial aid in pursuing higher education. I recommend exploring platforms like Fastweb and Scholarships. com for scholarship opportunities. These websites can match you with various scholarships based on your profile. It's essential to start early and apply to as many scholarships as possible, ensuring you meet all eligibility criteria and deadlines. This approach increases your chances of securing financial support for your studies.
