Updated: April 1st, 2024

Fall is one of the busiest times of the year for students. After all, fall is the season when school starts which means classes, homework, sports, and other activities. For students who are high school seniors, the fall also means that college admissions and scholarship deadlines are just around the corner.

For all students, fall is a great opportunity to get into the habit of applying for scholarships. Every single dollar that you earn through scholarships is a dollar that you don’t have to pay in tuition, room, or board. This can lead to big savings if you were planning on taking out student loans (because it means that you eliminate your debt and student loan interest).

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.
