Scholarships

1. There are over 1 million scholarships available to students every year — with a significant percentage of them going unclaimed. The same goes for federal and state financial aid – where more than $130 billion dollars is dispersed every year. Eligible students are not taking the time to apply.

2. Colleges and Universities provide the largest number of scholarships for the students that attend their schools but do not overlook small and large businesses and special interest organizations such as us.

3. The most prestigious, competitive, highly ranked colleges do not provide any merit-based scholarships and private colleges give out the most money.

4. You don’t have to have perfect test scores or straight A’s. There are many scholarships for various activities and talents. Many categories to investigate just do your research.

5. On average, 67% of scholarship applicants are female. We need that number to grow. We also need to encourage our young men to apply. Promoting #CAP will be the best bet and that committee is doing an amazing job!

6. 42% of scholarships can’t be found searching Google due to the antiquated way so many scholarships are set up on charity or foundation websites.

7. Timing is everything! Make sure you review everything in scholarship requirement package. Submit complete applications early.

8. Make sure understand the difference between scholarships, grants, and loans. Try to apply primarily for Scholarships and grants. Although they may have certain criteria once you follow their guidelines you will not have to pay them back.

Do you have a highschooler? Make sure that you start early and do your research. Seek out community programs such as our #CAP program for help and apply for everything!
