What are some of the best reputable websites to find and apply for scholarships?
I am looking for scholarships and want to apply to as many as possible, but I would prefer to keep the number of websites that I put my personal information into at a minimum. Also some website have allowed me to input all the information required just to get to the end and then the website has you put in your credit card and subscribe before you can actually apply for any scholarships.
There are two schools that I have to choose from and the decision is most likely going to come down to finances because my top choice is more expensive than my second. So, scholarships are going to be pretty important to my decision.

Many college and universities have foundations, that are responsible for the administration of endowments, that are donated by private individuals, companies, and other entities.
Many of these private donations, come in the form of scholarships, which students can apply for in order to obtain extra financial help.
There are a variety of scholarships, including ones based on majors, future occupations, student activities on campus, and other categories.
So, I would check your college or university College Foundation office, to see what they have available for you to apply for.

Sallie Mae's website has a section specifically on Scholarships that will hopefully be helpful. Here are a couple of links:
- Content you can browse, articles, guides, tools, etc. - https://www.sallie.com/resources/tag/scholarships
- An inventory of various scholarships available that you can sort and filter through based on specific criteria - https://www.sallie.com/scholarships/scholly
Hopefully these resources will help you to narrow down what you want to apply for.
Best of luck!
