You don't have to be an athlete or a genius to qualify for a scholarship.  Awards can be based on hobbies, organization memberships, career goals, where you live, ethnicity and financial need. Begin your search here.  Then go to the listing of scholarship search engines.  Also consider organizations that you and your parents are affiliated with.  Just don't pay to apply for any scholarships.

 

Cloud Callout: Application Tips Apply only if you are eligible.  Start early and save a copy of everything.  You will probably be able to reuse the info on another app.  Keep track of deadlines on a calendar and check often.  Be sure to make a list of all the things needed to send along with your app.  Be concise, but complete. Remember neatness does count and have others edit for spelling, grammar and organization that will make your application stand out. And did I remember to tell you to start early?
