Unfortunately, there are people who prey on aspiring college students with scholarship scams. Here are some red flags to watch for:

• Winning a scholarship that you didn’t apply for

• Companies that request personal identification information, such as a Social Security number or bank account information

• Scholarships that require a fee to apply. If you are unsure about a certain company or opportunity, check with your College Coordinator or School Counselor.

We recommend starting your search the summer before your senior year. If you find scholarships that aren’t open yet or aren’t due for a few months, be sure to save them to apply to later. By starting your scholarship research early, you can familiarize yourself with typical scholarship requirements, begin brainstorming and drafting any required application essays, and give your educators plenty of time to write you letters of recommendation. This preparation will leave you feeling more confident to begin applying in the fall!

We recommend applying to as many scholarships as possible before being admitted or committing to any college or university. More time spent applying can lead to receiving more money for college!

Yes. Almost all scholarships will require you to have or before applying. Even if you don’t think you’ll qualify for need-based aid awarded through the FAFSA/ORSAA, it’s still important that you complete it, since it’s a requirement to receive other forms of financial aid like scholarships, loans, and grants.

Potentially, yes. Some scholarships are only awarded to students transitioning directly from high school to college. If you already received a scholarship and now are considering a gap year, be sure to communicate clearly with the scholarship organization about your plans. They may not be able to award you the money until you begin school.

It depends on the scholarship. Some are one-time scholarships, while others can renew each term or school year depending on your grades or any specific requirements the scholarship has for students to keep it. If you receive a scholarship, be sure to ask about any renewal requirements you will need to follow.

Of course! Google “scholarships with no GPA requirements” or check out to start looking.

All scholarships will have different submission requirements (like essays, test scores, etc.) so it’s super important to thoroughly read the requirements of each individual scholarship. Some may require SAT/ACT scores, while others won’t.

Typically yes - but ALWAYS:

• Check in with the person who wrote you a letter of recommendation to give them a heads up before submitting it. This way they’ll be prepared in case someone from the scholarship organization reaches out to them to talk.

• Be sure the letter of recommendation doesn’t reference a different scholarship
