Hi, i am a high school freshmen and don’t say anything like you too young to worry about this stuff. I was wondering, what would happen if you apply for a scholarship and won, how does it get to you, do they send you a check or do they send it to your school where it will be kept and given during your senior year.
There’s no one right answer.
Did you find any college scholarships that allow high school freshmen to apply?
i found some on fastweb that allow freshmen but didn’t apply yet because i didn’t know how to receive it if i win
Many scholarships will be paid directly to your college (so that they are used specifically as intended ). The donor organization would not pay until you go to college.
But as mentioned, each scholarship is different. I would guess that if they allow you to apply as a freshman, they have addressed this.
If the scholarship specifically allows freshmen to apply I’m sure they have a way to keep it available for your college when the time comes.
