Pause for a second and imagine winning a scholarship before College, i.e. in your senior year in high school. If you are a younger student, go one step further, and imagine winning a scholarship even before your senior year in high school.
This means extra freedom for you in College, and if you were to win a scholarship even before your senior year, then even more extra freedom, including in your senior year, freedom that could be dedicated to college or university applications, towards getting in to your dream institution.
While scholarships and awards change every year, and thus, those listed on our pages are continuously updated, less known is the fact that you can win a scholarship as early as age six, especially if you have been volunteering and contributing in meaningful ways to your society.
If you win a scholarship or fellowship before you actually start college, the funds are banked for you by the institution that has offered the funding in the first place. This means that once you get admitted to the college or university of your choice, the funds are disbursed, usually directly to the school. In some cases, you can win awards that are not technically scholarships and could thus be sent directly to you, in which case you should save the funds, to be used later for college.
