College Scholarships and Grants

Many high school students, parents and current college students are shocked to hear there are thousands upon thousands of college scholarships available to college students in the United States.

A scholarship is FREE money (money you will not have to pay back after graduation). It’s not a student loan; scholarships are a gift that does not have to be repaid. As the cost of college continues to rise, applying for scholarships should be a priority for all college-bound students and current college students.

Scholarship money can be used to pay for tuition and fees, but also room and board and the hidden (sometimes forgotten cost) of pricey university textbooks.

Uncovering scholarships for college students and college bound students can feel overwhelming.
