Grants & Scholarships
A common misconception about grants and scholarships is that only "poor" students can get them. We want to make sure you understand that not all grants and scholarships are based on financial need. Some scholarship programs award funds to students in a particular major; others may award money based on athletic ability, scholastic ability, religious affiliation, race (of the student or parent), or social activities.
We encourage you to research as many grant and scholarship programs as you can.
If you are ready to expand your scholarship search in other directions, we invite you to utilize these Scholarship Search tools to access a comprehensive database of billions of dollars in grants and scholarships.
