Free Scholarship Search Engines

A scholarship search engine is a great tool that can help you look for scholarships in one place. It can save you a great amount of time. You spend around 30 minutes creating a profile including information like race, major, colleges, financial need, GPA, etc.  The search engine takes all this information and searches for scholarships that match your profile. All that is left for you to do is apply.  

Important:

1. Some scholarship search engines ask you to pay. There are several free search engines out there.

2. You always want to make sure you actually meet the requirements of a scholarship. Even though the search engine states that you meet a requirement for a scholarship, it might not always be the case.

Example:

You say you are a high school senior but it does not specifically ask you what high school. Every high school senior in washboard will be told they qualify for the Lindbergh High School scholarship. However, the scholarship is only for seniors who are attending and graduate from Lindbergh High School.
