Owen’s Answer

Cecelia, a great place to begin your search for college scholarships is with your high school counselor. School counselors will be able to connect you with real / reputable scholarships opportunities that are tailored to students in your area, including both local opportunities and national programs that are relevant to your background and interests. They will also provide guidance on application deadlines and help you put together a strong application. Another valuable resource is the financial aid section of the websites of the colleges you're interested in. Most colleges have their own scholarships, and you can usually find these by visiting their “financial aid office” page online. There, you’ll find information on scholarships for incoming freshmen and upper classmen, merit-based awards, and scholarships tied to specific departments or majors. Exploring these two trusted sources can connect you with real scholarship opportunities.

Joseph’s Answer

Hi! Many people find undergraduate scholarships through their school's website under sections like opportunities or school life. However, I discovered mine by connecting with others and seeking guidance from a fellow student.

Here's a quick story: I attended as many club mixers as I could and spoke with lots of people. These mixers were sometimes social events, career presentations, live Q&A sessions, or research talks. I soon realized that most attendees were students just like me, not presenters. During or after these events, I would chat with people about their lives and what brought them to the event or Hunter College. One student shared his experience with a research scholarship. After learning more, I asked if he could mentor me through the application process. Thanks to being well-prepared and gaining valuable experience, I got the scholarship!

Remember, it's not about using people for information. Observing how others work and interact can inspire you and open up career paths you hadn't considered before.

I hope this encourages you even a little bit!
