Scholarship Review Process

The Scholarships360 Research Team reviews all scholarships individually and strives to exclude any scholarship where any of the below applies:

  • The scholarship requires a fee to apply
  • The scholarship provider’s privacy policy allows for the misuse of student data
  • The scholarship requires paid membership in an organization (with certain exceptions for reputable trade organizations and others)
  • Student are required to sign up for a site or service to apply*
  • The scholarship seems primarily used for lead generation** or idea harvesting purposes***
  • The scholarship website has many grammatical errors and/or advertisements
  • The scholarship or scholarship providing organization seem untrustworthy
  • There is no evidence the scholarship was previously awarded
  • The scholarship has not been awarded in the past 12 months
  • There is no available contact information

If you believe a scholarship has been published in error, please reach out to [email protected] and we’ll take a look!


* There are certain exceptions to this, for example if the sponsoring organization is a major corporation or nonprofit with its own scholarship application system.
** Lead generation scholarships will require students to sign up for an app or website and require minimal (if any) application requirements.
***Idea harvesting scholarships will require students to submit blog posts or other materials that companies may use for marketing purposes.

If you are a rising or current college senior, you are approaching the end of your college journey! For many students, senior year is a particularly busy year: you are likely taking your most rigorous classes, applying for jobs or graduate school.

You might also be in leadership positions for the clubs and associations you are involved in. Students should also remember that there are some great scholarships for college seniors. Whether you are looking to pay for your senior year of college or graduate school, scholarships for college seniors can earn you some serious money and eliminate student loan debt.

How to win scholarships for college seniors

Now that you’ve got a list of opportunities to apply for, it’s time to craft your applications. Luckily, we can help you through the process. Check out our guides on how to start a scholarship essay, how to write an essay about yourself, and how to use your essay to show rather than tell. We can also help you tailor your essay to 250 or 500 word limits. If you’re still left with questions, try some of these resources:

Tips for college seniors

You’re a senior, which means you are almost there! Congratulations! There are probably some mixed emotions around the idea of leaving college. But just because it’s almost over, doesn’t mean there isn’t still a lot to do!

If you’re thinking that medical school or graduate school are on your horizon, we’ve got some resources that might come in handy. Check out how to get into graduate school with a low GPA and how to pay for medical school!   

Beyond grad school, loans might be something you have some questions about, but we’ve got you covered there too! We can help you answer how grad school will affect your loan payments and how you can start paying off your student loans!

Frequently asked questions

Is senior year of college too late to apply for scholarships?

It’s never too late to apply for scholarships! You can apply for scholarships during your senior year to finance any program you may enroll in afterwards, and you can even try to fund your second semester if you find the right opportunity.

Can I receive federal financial aid when I go to grad school?



If you are planning to go to grad school, your federal financial aid options will change once you enroll. You will not be eligible for the Pell Grant or Subsidized Direct Loans, but you will be able to take out a much higher quantity of other types of federal loans. These include PLUS loans and Direct Unsubsidized.

Remember, you’ll qualify for these opportunities the same way you did in undergrad – by filling out the FAFSA. Make sure to submit it well before the deadline to ensure that you file in time for any first-come first-served state grants.

Will scholarships affect my financial aid package?

In some situations, scholarships from outside sources can impact your financial aid package. It’s a good idea to reach out to your school’s financial aid office before applying to scholarships to see how your need-based aid might change as a result of new outside scholarship funds.
