Reviews.com's Advice for finding Scholarships

5/29/2018

1 Comment

 
"​Over $50 billion in scholarships were awarded to students last year. With a number that large, it would seem that an opportunity wouldn’t be hard to find, but the opposite is true. Because there are so many scholarships spread across a wide variety of eligibility requirements, searching through all of them is the hardest step in the process."  -Reviews.com

​Reviews.com created this guide to review the best scholarship search platforms and instruct students on how to use them effectively to find as many opportunities as possible.​

​Most students face the same common problems:

No single source for scholarship listings: Thousands of organizations sponsor scholarships every year and each advertises through their different channels. 

Missed deadlines: By the time many students find their ideal opportunities, the deadlines have either already passed or are too close to complete all of the application requirements in time.

Incomplete information: When third-parties advertise a scholarship outside of the sponsor’s website, many do so with incomplete details. Students who apply based solely on third-party information might be unaware of key eligibility requirements that disqualify them from the competition.

Scholarship scams: The internet is filled with fake scholarship opportunities that most often include scholarships with application or redemption fees (and awards that never materialize), paid “guaranteed scholarship” search services, and identity theft scams.

A quality scholarship search platform is the best solution to all of these problems. These dedicated websites and mobile apps compile large databases of active scholarships from thousands of organizations and put them in one place for students to browse. They most often include dozens of filters that allow you search only for awards that match your unique qualifications, such as scholarships by ethnicity, major, test scores, and extracurricular activity.

Many students fall into scholarship scams, and it's quite awful. It's sad because these students just want to study and lighten the responsibilities they are carrying but there are people who choose to be abusive. That's why you really need to review first if the grants that are being given are legit. You need to verify everything if it's true so that you can avoid possible problems that might come on your way financially!
