Mary Jane’s Answer

Hi Chapin! Most scholarships will list their eligibility requirements, like being from a specific state, intending to study a certain subject, or having some kind of affiliation, like you are a member of a particular faith tradition or your parent works for a certain company. As you search for scholarships, you can put relevant activities or interests into your search parameters like women, science, musician, athlete, Methodist, teacher, etc. Some will be really wide open so you just have to be a senior to apply and others will be really restricted like a female student of color from a certain state (or even county!) who is intending to study mathematics.

If you haven't already, you should fill out the free FAFSA form at https://studentaid.gov/. This will help determine whether you are eligible for federal student aid or grants like the Pell Grant. It will also help colleges determine whether you are eligible for any scholarships they offer based on family income. You should also talk to the admissions counselors at the schools you are considering to see whether you need to do anything extra to be considered for scholarships from the college. Many will automatically give you any scholarships that you qualify for but some will have an extra application process, form, or deadline for scholarships from the college.

Hope that helps!
