Scholarship List

Scholarship List

Hey everyone!

First off, I want to apologize for the lack of new articles recently—life’s been pretty busy, and I’m not exactly sure when things will calm down. That said, I’m going to try my best to get back to the regular weekly Sunday posts as usual.

This post is a huge list of scholarships, and I’ve included crucial info for each one. Most of the details in the "Requirements," "Amount that can be earned," and "Dates" sections are copied directly from the official scholarship websites, which I’ve also linked for your reference.

Please note: Most of these scholarships are open to residents of the United States or Canada, and many specifically require applicants to be U.S. citizens and high school students. That said, I’ve also included a handful that are open to international students and college-level applicants.

The scholarships aren’t sorted by deadline or any specific category, so if you're looking for something in particular—like a certain location or deadline—try using Ctrl + F to search through the page quickly.

Hope this helps, and good luck to everyone applying!
