Yes is possible!
Just that in some cases , for you to have that opportunity you have to be seen, in another word you have to possess great skill or you have to be brilliant.
So let say : possessing great skill or being brilliant make it easier to have a scholarship.

Countless scholarships are out there for the taking, and they're not just for athletes. A lot of them simply require you to pen a brief essay. Typically, the individual or group offering the scholarship will set the essay theme.

Your local public library can be a treasure trove of resources. Just ask the librarian to guide you to a "Scholarship Finder" book - most libraries tend to have one. A popular choice is "Peterson's Scholarships, Grants & Prizes." You can even snag used copies of this book online at a reasonable price. I managed to get a slightly outdated edition for around $35 on eBay.

There's also a plethora of scholarship discovery websites. However, I'd advise against using them as your primary resource. Many bombard you with ads and might lead you to apply for scholarships that aren't a good fit for you.
I hope you find this advice valuable!

There are always opportunities for scholarships and they do not need to be related to sports. Ask your teachers and look around your community. I know there was one I applied for through the Knights of Columbus at my Church. There are scholarships for academics and clubs and other extra curriculars. There are also scholarships you can apply to for the schools you want to go to. Again just ask your teachers and guidance counselors and think you will be surprised at what you find.

Abigail’s Answer

Yes! There are a lot of scholarships available for high school students who are looking into going to college. I applied for a scholarship when I was a senior in high school. The scholarship was for graphic design, and I had to write an essay about why I wanted to go to college for graphic design. I wrote how I love to be creative and my passion for branding. There's so many scholarships out there for all different of interests. I would say, start looking up scholarships online, and I would also ask a teacher or even a counselor at school. My teacher was the one who pointed me towards the scholarship that I had applied to. I hope this helps!
