Much of successful scholarship attainment, has to do with where you look for the scholarships. They can come from two primary sources, either private or public. One area people might not know about is the College Foundation option, at local colleges and universities.
College Foundations connect many of their scholarships to specific subjects, activities, majors, ethnicities and classifications. These are normally scholarships, that are supported by private individuals or businesses.
You might find scholarships for students who are first generation college students (neither parent has a college degree), students who are focusing their major on teaching, science subjects, engineering or radiology, or students who might be of a certain ethnicity.
Most of the time potential applicants can find nearly anything that fits into a classification or subject that defines them or their future goals.
All colleges and universities have foundations that offer scholarships. I would log into the website (of the college you are attending or wishing to attend), and research the ones which apply to you and your particular interests.

Start by checking out scholarships from local schools, businesses, or community groups. If you're in Florida, look into Bright Futures, the Benacquisto Scholarship, and Machen Florida Opportunity Scholars. You can find details on the Florida Student Financial Aid website and the University of Florida’s site for Machen Scholars. National scholarships like the Stamps, Jackie Robinson, and Horatio Alger awards are also great options, with information on their official websites.
Ithaca College provides scholarships such as the Presidential, Leadership, and Martin Luther King Scholar awards, plus need-based grants through FAFSA. Their financial aid site is a helpful resource. Remember to apply early and broadly, ensure you meet the requirements for each scholarship, and use trustworthy sources to discover opportunities.
