    Where these awards come from

    52 of the 168 consider financial need and 94 are merit-based (some are both). Most need-based awards use the FAFSA, so file it even when a scholarship has its own form.

    Sources: each award's official page (121 college, 39 foundation, 7 state agency, 1 federal). Last checked between Nov 6 and Nov 15. A program is listed here when its title names this topic; amounts and dates can change, and the official page always wins.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.

    Our methodology

    Avoid scholarship scams

    Real scholarships never charge an application fee, never guarantee you will win and never ask for bank or card details.
