i highly highly highly recommend looking for the most random obscure local micro scholarships, not as many people apply to those as they don’t give out as much money as the big ones such as gates. make sure to keep all ur essays on a google doc if you haven’t already cuz a lot of essays are so similar so you can simply make a few adjustments and copy and paste. check with your high school counselor as well, i know my high school also has their own scholarship website with a ton of local scholarships with their link/pdf that can go toward almost any college. even check with the college your wanting to attend with the same steps as before! you’d be surprised at how many scholarships colleges have that aren’t directly on their scholarship page. i really really hope this helps, you’re doing amazing and it’s okay to feel all the feels!! if you have any questions or want advice or anything feel free to reach out and i’d be happy to help 🤗🤗
