Quick guide to college Scholarships
Here's a quick guide to college scholarships.
By EducationStart Staff
Scholarships are one source of funding you simply can't afford to ignore if you're planning to go to college.
There are many different types of scholarships, but once you know the basic facts, you should be able to find the scholarships that are right for you.
Here are five of the most commonly asked questions about college scholarships.
1. What is a scholarship?
The term "scholarship" can have many different meanings, but basically it refers to any money for college that you don't have to pay back. Yes, there really is such a thing as free money!
Every year, hundreds of thousands of scholarships are awarded from several thousand sponsors. The amount of money awarded varies widely, and can be anything up to the full cost of tuition.
Did we mention that scholarship money never has to be paid back?
2. Who can apply for scholarships?
The short answer is: if you're going to college, you can apply for scholarships.
But each individual scholarship has specific eligibility guidelines and you'll need to find out if you meet the criteria before applying.
Here's a list of common criteria for scholarships:
Academic performance
Athletic achievement
Financial need
Religious affiliation
Minority status
Heritage
Community affiliations
A unique set of criteria that's important to the organization providing funds
The important thing is to be realistic about your own background and abilities and make sure you apply for the awards that are relevant to you.
If you're not sure whether you qualify for a particular scholarship, contact the sponsor for more information.
3. Who provides scholarships?
Scholarships come from a range of institutions, companies, organizations, and private donors.
These are some of the main sources of scholarships:
Colleges
Employers
Individuals
Companies
Religious groups
Professional associations
It's always a good idea to research a scholarship's sponsor – check out their web site if they have one – in order to get a sense of what qualities they're looking for in an applicant.
4. How do I find out what scholarships are available?
Your college's financial aid office is a good place to start your search for scholarships.
Be wary of websites that charge a fee for helping you look for scholarships – all the information you need should be freely available from your college, on the web, or directly from the sponsor.
5. What is the application process for scholarships?
The scholarship application process is actually not so different from the college application process.
First, you'll need to draw up a list of scholarships for which you meet the eligibility criteria. Then it's a case of making sure you have all the required materials, such as essays, financial information, and transcripts.
The easiest way NOT to get a scholarship is to leave something out of your application, so make sure you include everything the sponsor asks for. Don't forget to apply by the specified deadline. And good luck!
