Hello,
I’m a high school senior graduating in June. I can pay fully for college, so I have no financial need, but I’m interested in applying for scholarships because I don’t want to make my father pay (he has saved his whole life to send me to college). Are there prestigious/full ride scholarships for people without financial need? Thank you all ideas are welcome.
If you are a HS senior NOW you have missed the boat on large scholarships to pay for college in fall 2017.
The very best scholarships are awarded by the colleges to which you are accepted. Did you apply anywhere where you would be a good candidate for merit aid?
@Butterbean11 most colleges are passing out merit scholarship since last month. I know lot of college don’t require additional application if you have applied before Nov 1st or whichever was there early decision date was. My daughter applied in state purdue and out state university of Maryland and she received scholarship from both purdue 8k , um 12k. I would say check with the college you are planning to attend.
