Anything worthwhile takes effort. The work you put in right now toward your education—
trade school, career prep, college prep, or completion—will serve you later. Your future self will be thankful you put in the work to help lower costs.
Each scholarship you earn, big or small, contributes to your wallet later. Think of the future—Imagine you've completed your degree or
learned a trade. You're now a career-ready professional making your own money—it's what you've dreamed of. Many students, however, don't consider the financial obligations they've committed to
federal or private student loans. You'll be expected to pay these loans soon after completing your education.
The less debt you have, the happier your future self will be. Trust us; your future self wants to spend your hard-earned money on a new car, a vacation, or a real estate investment, not
an overbearing amount of student loan repayments!!
Whether you are a high school student working to get into your dream college or
trade school, or a college student working toward your degree, it is essential to consider how you will pay for your education. Reduce or eliminate any student debt with scholarships. Unlike student loans, you do not have to pay back scholarships!
Tips from Real Scholarship Winners
Apply for scholarships that excite you! $1,500 Scholarship Era Sweepstakes winner shares: "Find scholarships that you're excited about or that don't feel like a burden to apply to, that energize you and keep you motivated to keep trying."
Check your email. $1,000 Scholarship Success Sweepstakes winner shares: "Keep applying, pay attention to deadlines and CHECK YOUR EMAIL! Apply. Apply. Apply. You literally have nothing to lose. The answer is always no if you don't apply. Sometimes, it is yes when you do!"

Create a daily reminder to apply for scholarships. $1,250 Scholarship Goal Crusher Sweepstakes winner shares: "I have a daily goal to either identify a scholarship I want to apply for or to make progress on one (for example, writing 150 more words on an essay). I also had a daily reminder on my phone to help out."
If you don't try to apply for scholarships, you won't win any. $1,250 Own Your Scholarship Journey Sweepstakes winner shares: "Apply, apply, apply! A scholarship you don't apply for is like throwing away money. Spending just a little time on a scholarship [application] will save you hours working for that money in the future."
Stay consistent when applying for scholarships. Our first
$1,250 Scholarship Success Sweepstakes winner, Therese Loise Dy said, "When I saw [Fastweb] had their own [scholarship] that let you apply with one entry a day, I knew that this was something I wanted to keep consistent with!"
Students should consider applying for one to two scholarships per week. This doesn't mean you must write a scholarship essay each week. Keep it simple by applying for
Featured Scholarships. Most of these scholarships take two minutes or less to apply for!
Each scholarship application you submit gets you closer to scholarship success, and every scholarship you earn adds up! Your future self will be so happy that you put in the extra effort to apply for scholarships.
