9. ScholarshipMonkey.com is another free online searching database available to compare different scholarships available and relevant to your own plan and path in education personally.
10. College websites where you’re applying: Although not all schools award merit-based scholarships, those that do are very valuable because they’ll likely renew all four years.
But the process for giving out scholarship money varies from school to school. Go to the college’s website, type in the word 'scholarships' and see what process the college will be using to give out their scholarship opportunities. You should also check the department of the major you’re considering, which may have its own scholarships and process for awarding them.
