How many scholarships would I have to apply to in order to win enough money to cover their entire tuition?
Over the course of the past month I have applied to a lot more scholarships the. I ever thought I would, and I have started looking at the odds of me getting a scholarship being 1 of a hundred on average meaning if I wanted to pay of my tuition that would mean applying to say around 100 scholarships a month so around three or four a day just to get one, and I can't even begin to think how many I need to pay off an entire tuition. #scholarships #college #tuition #financial-aid

How do I focus on my studies yet also pay the costs of my college education?
So far, I've been to applying to scholarship after scholarship -- but those are based on chance. I don't lose hope, but I always want to be prepared with a backup plan! The cheapest university that I was accepted to is still far too expensive (even with financial aid) for my family to afford, and the university only allows me to work 25 hours in a week. I've thought of doing things like selling art prints online or publishing a book to scrape in more cash, too, but again: chance. What can I do to ensure I'll have the money for the education I want to get without having to sacrifice my education time for working? #money #college #financial-aid
Not sure where else to get scholarships, grants, etc?
So I'm transferring for the fall semester and the cost is quite a bit. I got a 5700$ cal grant, and I'm trying to get a CalVet tuition waiver, but beyond that I still have high 'associated fees' and of course Room and Board. Basically, if I don't end up getting the CalVet tuition waiver I'll be having to pay something like 13k$ without any more loans beyond a Parent PLUS loan which my parents are seemingly not wanting to take out since it does have a lot of stipulations. I'm at a loss because most scholarships seem to be already due, grants are essentially done, and I don't see anymore waivers. I'm going in for a Marine Transportation Degree, White, 3.8 GPA in Community College, Male. #grants #scholarships #financial-aid
What is the best approach to find low competition scholarships?
I have noticed that there are literally thousands of scholarship programs out there and there are hundreds that most students would be qualified to apply to. However, I, like most people, don’t have the time or the energy to apply towards hundreds of scholarships in a year, so I need advice on how to narrow down the list of eligible scholarships to focus on the ones that I have the best chance of winning. Ideally, I should look for ones that have the least amount of competition; however, in my experience, most scholarship programs either don’t keep track or are unwilling to divulge the number of qualified applicants they receive each year. Thus, how should I determine if a scholarship has low competition? I assume local ones are most likely less competitive towards national ones. It should be the same situation for scholarships that limit the type of students that can apply. For example, let’s take a look at these two scholarships: Scholarship A: Eligible applicants must be undergraduate computer science, computer engineering, and information technology majors with a 3.5 or higher GPA. Scholarship B: Eligible applicants can be one of the following: high school seniors, undergraduate students, and graduate students who are current or aspiring STEM majors with a 2.0 or higher GPA Clearly, scholarship A severely limits the type of applicants that are eligible compared to the Scholarship B. Thus, Scholarship A is less competitive than Scholarship B, which means that an applicant fitting Scholarship A’s description would stand a much better chance winning Scholarship A than B. What other criteria can one use to determine if a scholarship has low competition, and therefore “winnable?” #scholarships #scholarship #college-scholarships #scholar #financial-aid
