Hello, Annabelle !
That would be very difficult for any of us to know because you would have to know every scholarship and grant available and know how many of them the donors will be giving out. Sometimes this information is included in scholarship descriptions and many times it's not. But I think that should not stop you from taking the steps to apply for scholarships.
It's always just a matter of applying to as many as possible and waiting to hear back. Applying for many will increase your chances of getting some. It's perfectly fine to work hard on this, put in the time researching and applying, setting aside time for this as a priority a few days a week at a certain time range. It's worthwhile because it could mean lightening the financials for your college education. A potentially lower competitive scholarship that exists is the Earline S. Rogers Student Teaching Scholarship for Minorities. Another potential one is the Student Teaching Scholarship for High Need Fields for students planning to teach middle or high school math, science, or special education.
I encourage you to apply for competitive scholarships, too. I highly advise applying to the The Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship. On a Federal level, there is The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education Grant, the Academic Competitiveness Grant and the National SMART Grant. Before you apply for Federal Grants, they want you to apply for Federal Student Financial Aid. Also, visit the college you will be attending and ask what scholarships they offer in general and for Education students.
There are numerous Scholarship and Grant websites that you can find through a search online. It's a matter of reading about each scholarship and grant to know the qualifying criteria so you'll know the ones to apply for.
Scholarships that are known to be comparatively less competitive, but again, not guaranteed, are The William A. Crawford Minority Teacher Scholarship which is for African American or Hispanic students interested in elementary, secondary, or special education. You should also check with your high school guidance counselor and your high school teachers to learn about any scholarships that are not listed online.
It's well worth the time and once you start applying, you'll see that the effort is not that bad. The more you apply to, the more you'll feel confident that you will get some help for college expenses.
I hope this helps and I wish you all the best !
