Episode 15: Finding, tracking and winning scholarships

1. Finding Scholarships

* Use Scholarship Search Engines

My favorite scholarship search engines:

Unigo
Moolah Spot
The University Network

Other scholarship search engines: Peterson’s, Fastweb, Cappex, Collegeboard, Scholarships.com

* Scholly App

* Local school websites

* Google search – “scholarship” + major / hobby / achievement etc

* Facebook – follow people like Monica Matthews

2. Tracking Scholarships

* put all scholarships and requirements and deadlines on Google sheets and share with your child

* child updates when it is submitted

* create a dedicated email for scholarships

3. Winning Scholarships

* Use Google sheets to track volunteer hours, workshops attended etc so you have all the info at hand

* Parent should research see what the chance is of their child winning anything – look for previous winners, read winning essays, watch winning videos

* Keeping it all organized on Google sheets means you shouldn’t miss deadlines, leave anything out.

* Use spell checkers / Grammarly (also human eyes!)
