SCHOLARSHIP SEARCHES & LISTS
The VAST majority of financial aid and scholarships will come directly from the colleges and universities you are applying to.ABOUT SCHOLARSHIPS
SCHOLARSHIP LISTS
-
Here's Every College That Offers 100% Financial Aid. This is mostly need-based aid, so is most helpful for low-income, high-achieving students (top 10% of the class). The definition of low-income can vary, but a good rule of thumb would be < $60,000/year. If you are a junior and fall into this category, please let me know. There are some programs you should know about.
-
This is a list of colleges with full ride scholarships based on MERIT. This is the list if you are in the top 10% of the class. Especially if there is financial need.
