Selena’s Answer

In 2025, a big advantage when searching for scholarships is using AI to help gather information and find specific answers. If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend using an AI tool to search for scholarships. You can ask it to find application links and assist with application questions.

I used ChatGPT to explore different tools, and here’s what it suggested:

1. Search Databases:
- Scholarships.com with a section for "Nontraditional Students"
- Fastweb, Scholly, BestColleges for large matching platforms

2. Adult-Specific Scholarships:
- ASIST (Adult Students in Scholastic Transition)
- Alpha Sigma Lambda (for schools with chapters)
- Great Jobs KC Adult Learner Scholarship
- School-based awards like UMBC Returning Adult Learners

3. Government/Financial Aid:
- FAFSA, which is needed for many scholarships
- Federal Student Aid’s adult student toolkit

These resources can make your scholarship search easier and more effective.
