<p>Hi CC,
I am looking for some scholarships that juniors can apply for, many of the scholarships that I have found are exclusively for seniors and college students. I am trying to get a (small) headstart and am looking for all kinds- merit, essay, etc.... I am especially looking for leadership-based scholarships/essays as I have numerous essays already written. If you know of anything please comment below. And yes, I am a member of fastweb, cappex, and scholarship.com, so please dont just say check those sites!
thanks</p>
<p>I believe there are a few available. But this isn’t the reason I’m posting. Some colleges subtract from their merit or automatic aid you qualify for based on how much in scholarships you get. So your EFC increases, so your hard work would seem pretty pointless. The general advice is to wait and see where you get accepted, see the aid that you get, and pursue scholarships if it doesn’t increase your EFC. I’m sorry I didn’t answer your question, but just hoped you were aware of that.</p>
<p>thanks for the response! very insightful, I didn’t know that, something to keep in mind for sure. Anyone else?</p>
