<p>I'm a freshman in college and with winter break coming up I'd like to look for scholarships to apply to. I applied to a handful as a senior and won one $2,000 scholarship. My financial situation got a bit worse over the past 6 months so I really want to help myself and my family out by trying my best to apply and earn some more scholarships.</p>
<p>I'm having a hard time finding scholarships for college students though. I realize the majority are meant for high school students. I signed up for Fastweb but it only matched me to one scholarship.</p>
<p>Does anyone have a list or website recommendation on where I can find scholarships that a college freshman is eligible for?</p>
<p>I’m in the same situation, and honestly, I even asked my financial aid adviser and she said the school im attending has scholarships, but chances of me getting it is slim since I’m only a freshman. But she did recommend me some advice on applying to ethic scholarships.
Since I’m Asian, I was able to find some scholarships that are offered only to Asians.
So if you’re a minority, look for those scholarships! or if you’re not, slim down to few categories where you can be fit. good luck!</p>
<p>As a continuing student, the best places to look for scholarships are often through the academic departments of your school.</p>
<p>dpsu I too am a minority. Care to share where you have found these ethnic scholarships? :)</p>
<p>And entomom thank you for the suggestion, however I am likely transferring for my sophomore year and just for that reason I’d like to look for outside scholarships.</p>
<p>The best thing you can do is find a job over the break and bank your earnings.</p>
<p>Thanks for the suggestion, already got that covered with a part time job :)</p>
<p>Scholarships would be the next most beneficial way to spend my winter break since I already have a work schedule for the next few weeks.</p>
<p>My main ones are actually from local churches, and if you’re methodist by any chance, apply scholarships through united methodist church website. Once you apply a general form, they’ll probably sort you out to the ethic scholarship. I received this last year. Another national one would be apiasf. They just allowed new applicants!</p>
<p>Thanks. APIASF doesn’t look like it’s for current undergraduates though. And unfortuntaely I am not affiliated with any church. Appreciate your help though and good luck to you!</p>
<p>Does anyone else have any other websites or resources where I can find scholarships that I am eligible for as a current college freshman?</p>
<p>What is your major? Corporations and professional organizations offer many scholarships tailored to career interests for undergrads.</p>
<p>finance. where could i look to check for any business scholarships? i havent done anything related to my major yet though if the requirements might call for that.</p>
<p>bump any other suggestions? :)</p>
