Hello again Brandon! I am happy to give you advice on applying for scholarships as a freshman. Here is some helpful information:
Scholarship opportunities: When looking for scholarships on scholarship search engines, you'll want to look for scholarships that allow students from any grade to apply. For instance, the Niche no-essay scholarships and the CollegeXpress scholarship are some of the many scholarships that allow students from any grade to apply. Note that as you move closer and closer to your senior year, more scholarships will become available to you. I highly recommend that you check out the Scholarships/Grants page of the AADHE website for some good scholarship search engines.
When to apply: The sooner the better. Getting a head start on scholarships is very helpful and will allow you to accumulate scholarship money within a longer period of time before you graduate.
Last word of advice: When applying to scholarships, apply to as many as you can. Doing this will help you increase your chances of being awarded a scholarship. Also, do not always focus on the high priced scholarships. While it is good to apply for the scholarship with the most money, they tend to be very competitive. Applying to lower priced scholarships (ex. $500 or $1000) are usually less competitive which gives you an increased chance of winning those scholarships. Though may seem small, they can add up the more you gain.
I hope that this information will be helpful. I have no doubt that you will succeed in winning scholarships for college. Continue to keep up the great work and stay encouraged. You have a bright future ahead of you. Please feel free to share this information with your friends, family and peers, and follow us on social media for additional resources.
