What scholarships are currently open to HS Class of 2018 that are solely merit-based? I’m looking for scholarships that maybe don’t have a ton of competition or are very promising. I’d like to have a list of scholarships to work on applying for this summer.
There are very few scholarships open to juniors to begin with
And that number rounds to 0 when you want merit-only
I think they all closed, unless Coolidge is still taking apps
Applying this summer? For what? Your senior year?
Your major dept would likely be the source, altho maybe not many awards.
There are few outside entities that have any incentives to provide merit money to current students.
This summer, work/save for money. start looking for a summer job NOW
“Your major dept would likely be the source, altho maybe not many awards.”
Not many awards and very low value.
You can maybe get 500-5000 depending on the school and department for being the BEST student. If your dept even has awards at all.
DON’T wait until you’re in college. It is too late. If you’re not entering college with a sound plan for paying for it, you’re NOT going to find enough money while in college to change that (99.99999% chance that that is a true statement)
I think the OP is HS class of 2018, looking for scholarships to apply for the summer before senior year in HS.
Right. Just responding to mom’s comment.
