What is the most efficient way to gain access to lesser known scholarships?
I've made accounts on multiple scholarship websites but it feels like there's not much progress being done. Is there an easy way to find scholarships less people are applying to? #Spring25

I would check the college foundation of the college that you wish to attend. I have actually sat on college foundation scholarship selection committees, and I can definitely say, that there were times when not many people submitted applications for these scholarships.
Many college and universities have foundations, which are responsible for the endowments, that each college and universities uses for various programs on campus.
Included in these endowments, are scholarships, that the private investors would like to award to specific deserving students. Many students may not know that colleges and universities have endowment scholarships, that they might qualify for.
Many of these scholarships might be awarded based on a specific major, employment, gender, or ethnicity, or a specific activity the student is involved in at the college.
You might go to the college or university website and utilize their search engine, to see what their their college foundation has to offer regarding on campus scholarships. Normally, they have application procedures and deadlines to follow. So this might be an option.
