I don’t have the best grades, should I still apply?

Yes! Everyone should apply, as scholarships are awarded based on many factors.

What is the typical amount of an award?

Award amounts vary based on the scholarship in question. However, typical awards range from $1,000 to $2,500 per semester.

What should I include on my application?

Please be thorough when filling out your application. Set aside at least 30 minutes to complete it. List any achievements or interests that you believe help set you apart from the other applications. When in doubt, add more information, not less.
