    • 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

    ** 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.

    Scholarship FAQs

    What are the easiest types of scholarships to get?

    Some scholarships are more similar to contents or sweepstakes. These “easy scholarships” and “no essay scholarships” are very simple to apply for and the application process can take as little as a minute or two. However, this means that they are very hard to win and more similar to a lottery where you have a small chance of winning.

    This is why the easiest scholarships to get are oftentimes the scholarships that have more requirements (because they receive less applications). These include local scholarships, which are only open to students from a specific region or town. Ditto for college-specific scholarships that are specifically for students admitted to a particular college or university.

    How can I find scholarships for college?

    All of the above scholarships are a good start, but you may also qualify for merit, need, and talent-based scholarships that are specific to particular colleges. You can check-in with any of the colleges you are applying to and see if they have specific scholarships available. Generally, these scholarships are easier to win and are renewable, which means you can receive them for up to four years!

    Students should also remember to apply for need-based financial aid through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid which will help you access everything from grants to student loans to work study!

    What GPA do you need to qualify for a scholarship?

    The specific GPA requirements will vary from scholarship to scholarship. Be sure to look carefully at the eligibility requirements to see if there is a minimum GPA to apply.

    You may also find scholarships that do not have any GPA requirements. In these cases, you should still review the eligibility requirements to see how scholarship winners are selected. For example, scholarships with essay requirements will be judged primarily on the quality of your essay. Similarly, art scholarships will be evaluated on the basis of your creative talents.

    So while many scholarships will have an academic component, there are many other awards for students according to their backgrounds, experiences, interests, and goals!

    How does Scholarships360 select scholarships for the database?

    Putting students first is central to our mission. That’s why our scholarship research team carefully vets the scholarships that we include in our database so you can find safe and trustworthy scholarships. Here’s what that means more specifically:

    No scholarship application fees–we believe all scholarships should be free to apply to

    No display advertisements on the website

    All scholarships have a clear data policy that allows student to opt-out of sharing or selling student data

    Scholarship providers must provide proof that scholarships funds are awarded to students

    If you come across a scholarship that doesn’t meet this standard on our site, please reach out to us at [email protected] so we can investigate!

    What experience does the Scholarships360 team have in scholarships and financial aid?

    The Scholarships360 team has a deep expertise in scholarships, financial aid, and higher education. Collectively, we have decades of experience in roles as admissions officers, scholarship essay readers, writing professors, and high school college counselors. Our goal is to distill this experience into Scholarships360 to help as many students as possible achieve an affordable, high-quality education and graduate with little to no student loan debt.

    What if I have specific questions about scholarships?

    You should get in touch with the organization running the actual scholarship. Under every single scholarship that we list, you will see “Offered by” which indicates the company, foundation, or organization awarding the specific scholarship opportunity.

    If the scholarship in question is offered by Scholarships360, you can reach out to us at [email protected].
