Bclub of Awesomeness i’m also a rising junior, and it’s never too early to apply for scholarships!! Obviously there are some that aren’t available to us just yet, but i’ve found a bunch that are available to any high schooler

Most of the scholarships that are “easy” to apply for/get is the when the person applying is still in high school. It’s tough looking for undergrad scholarships

[@norakatebarter7190]

That's what I'm saying!! It is like we don't even exist... Does anyone know where one can find undergrad scholarships?

@Haleigh Dawn undergraduate means youre in college to obtain a Bachelor's. Graduate school is requires an undergraduate degree. stuff like Master's degree, law school, med school and so on.

Isn't it like really hard for foreigner students to have scholarships ? Plus, they're not able to work in some cases.

[@showmoon]

Education is a human right and it shouldnt be privilage for some people. Education must be free of charge.

[@NegativeAccelerate]

Well someone has to pay for it. It’s either the taxpayer or the person applying. Many taxpayers don’t agree with paying for other people’s education so why should you force people that don’t want to pay for your uni, to pay for your uni?

[@juannitaa6765]

@@NegativeAccelerate I agree college should not be free for everyone. I notice a lot of liberals think school should be free.

[@NegativeAccelerate]

JoJo, nita a I mean it would be great if it was free, or cheaper and the way to do that is to reduce the business aspect of the university. Apparently 50% of university tuition goes to marketing the university which is horrible in my opinion. We need higher regulations on what can be spent on advertising your university and also to ensure that the people at the top aren’t making more than $200,000 per year for doing nothing. Also I believe it should be partly funded by tax, as whenever the government money is invested in something, it’s in the government and everyone’s interest to ensure your money is being spent well which is why there is less corruption in European universities compared to the USA. It’s unfair for the person receiving an education to be paying $100,000 but equally unfair for the taxpayer. The best solution is to implement laws to reduce the cost of third level education. But also, it makes more sense for the person receiving their education to pay more money for it than a taxpayer who isn’t receiving that education.

[@strbot6159]

here in brazil we have a good free collages but its very hard to get in, you must be like a genius

[@crystal_4236]

But book editors for example should be paid otherwise their job wouldn’t make sense plus how would private institutions pay their teachers and get the needed equipment for their schools? The cost shouldn’t be exaggerated but shouldn’t be 0 either (plus most state school offer almost or totally free services so a private school is more of a choice than a right)

[@gabriellas_fan]

@@deziibee keep looking! :D I know it’s a little discouraging, but there’s so many opportunities out there! I recommend getting a go merry account (it’s free!) and looking for them. They have “scholarship bundles”, too, which is where you can apply to lots at once with only one application. It’s a time saver! :)

[@gabriellas_fan]

@@deziibee oh also, I recommend raise.me! They give you what they call “micro-scholarships”, which is where they pay you fir what you’re already doing. Like, you out in your classes, grades, volunteer hours, and more, and colleges will reward you for it! Each college also has there own opportunities on the site. Highly recommend!!

[@deziibee]

@@gabriellas_fan Thank you so much! I just got back into the swing of things when it comes to scholarships. I have been applying through scholarships through go merry this time around and I feel more confident. I also have a raise.me account too once I saw your comment I decided to go back and look at it again. It has been discouraging due to the fact that I want to go to SCAD, which is my dream school but it is a VERY expensive school. But I won't lose hope and plus I have my backups as well.

You are an inspiration. Congratulations on your outstanding achievements! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. My students loved your video.

[@georgegreen442]

Just saw this video for the first time. Loved the creativity behind the college reveal video. One humble suggestion for this video was that you replace won with earned for the scholarships. You win a raffle or the lottery, you earn scholarships. Yout hard work took all the chance out of receiving your scholarships so they were very much earned. Your accomplishments are off the charts and Stanford is lucky you chose them. I hope your first year went well and have found a home at Stanford. My Princeton and Stanford friends reported that they had such a great experience, they did not want to graduate!

[@samthomas4833]

The questbridge college match is not a scholarship. All of the scholarship money that questbridge matches have is from the school's need based financial aid. Some colleges give students who match more financial aid to cover the whole cost of attendance, while others offer the same aid to all admitted students. To some extent, questbridge advertises itself as a scholarship program, but it is not. In my opinion, the best things about questbridge is the free applications (a HUGE benefit) and the community. Even though it is not a scholarship, I would still recommend questbridge to any low-income student. International and undocumented students can apply too.

Hi!! I'm 13 and in a homeschool program and they placed me into a program that sets me up to graduate hs before 16. I'm supposed to be in 7th grade this year in public schools but I skipped a grade so I'm now in 8th grade and I'm taking 2 9th grade courses. I have no idea of anything college-wise but I am trying to learn a lot now considering my projected graduation date is sometime when I'm 14 which for me is just under a year away. My school is a year round school and I'm planning on taking minimal breaks in curriculum. I'm expected to be at a high school level curriculum by next year. I'm so excited for college and I've been watching you for the past day and I've learned a lot from you! :))
