Finding Last-Minute Scholarships
Please encourage your students to look at these four places to find “Last-Minute Scholarships.”
- College's Financial Aid Department - The school’s Financial Aid Office may know about remaining scholarship opportunities.
- Student's Employer OR Parent's/Guardian's Employer - If the student or parent is working, even part-time, there may be scholarships available from their employer.
- Scholarship Search Engines & Contests - Scholarship search engines and social channels may show late-deadline options and some, like FastWeb.com and the U.S. Department of Labor's CareerOneStop can be filtered by due date. Searches can also be conducted on social channels, using hashtags.
- Local Organizations - Organizations in the student's hometown may award scholarships and are usually less competitive than national awards.
