Scholarships

Some scholarships come directly from the college or university the student applied to. These are typically needs-based (based on financial need) or merit-based (based on student achievement). Scholarships from colleges or universities are sometimes automatically offered; other times students must apply through the school.

Other scholarships come from outside sources such as private businesses and private scholarship funds.

Eligibility requirements vary from scholarship to scholarship, but common essay themes include the student's background, interests, or a statement about how the scholarship will help the student achieve their academic and career goals.

Application deadlines and award dates vary by scholarships. Students should pay attention to deadlines, eligibility requirements, and application requirements.
