Hi, Reader!

Scholarships aren’t just for seniors! I mentioned last week that even junior high school students (and sometimes even younger) can earn scholarship money. So I thought that this week, I’d expand on just a few (and then give you tips on how to find and win more!).

Here’s a list of just a few great scholarships students can apply for based on grade level. Now, some of these may have closed for this year’s students, but they’re great to bookmark for next year. And there are also thousands of scholarships just waiting for applicants!

• Juniors & Underclassmen
  • ​Coolidge Scholarship – A full-ride, merit-based scholarship for juniors.
  • ​Horatio Alger Scholarship – For students with financial need who have overcome adversity.
  • ​BigFuture Scholarships – Earn entries just by completing college-planning steps.
• Seniors
  • ​Coca-Cola Scholars Program – A competitive leadership-based scholarship.
  • ​Gates Scholarship – For high-achieving, low-income students.
  • ​Jack Kent Cooke Foundation – Provides up to $55,000 per year to high-achieving students with financial need.
• Everyone
  • ​No Essay Scholarships – Fast, easy applications through sites like Niche and ScholarshipOwl.
  • ​Local Scholarships – Check with school counselors, community foundations, and local businesses. Also Google “scholarships” with your town or county name.

I also have several of my favorite scholarship websites on my website -- check them out!

And don't let me forget two last scholarship tips that can help make applying (and winning) a breeze:

Scholarship Essay Tip #1: Many prompts ask the same general questions (leadership, challenges, career goals). Students should create a “scholarship essay bank” to reuse and tweak responses instead of starting from scratch every time.

Scholarship Essay Tip #2: Monica Matthews has amazing scholarship resources just waiting for you to access them. Her parent and student scholarship guides have been helpful to many in finding and winning scholarships, and you can get 25% off using code SCHOLARSHIPSECRETS. Don’t miss out on this great deal!

Happy Writing!

Julia
