The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation is dedicated to advancing the education of exceptionally promising students who have financial need. Since 2000, the Foundation has awarded over $200 million in scholarships to over 2,700 students from 8th grade through graduate school, along with comprehensive educational advising and other support services. The Foundation has also provided $110 million in grants to organizations that serve such students.

Simeon’s Answer

Part of the key is applying for scholarships with smaller applicant pools. Apply for scholarships that are offered by local service organizations or ones that relate to your specific hobbies or demographics. It'll help increase your chances. Go ahead and do some volunteering to get those experiences on to your applications/resumes, but remember that many of the applicants will also have that experience listed. I'd focus more on the numbers game of applying for more scholarships while making sure they are scholarships that you qualify for.
