Without Scholarships.com, I doubt I would’ve applied to as many scholarships I’ve applied to make my mothers words true."

"The process of applying for the Amazon Future Engineer scholarship was funny. I stumbled upon it months before it was due and recognized it was an extraordinary scholarship that I fit the criteria for and would love to receive. But I procrastinated down to the wire and submitted it the day of the deadline. I honestly forgot I had applied to it until they threw a surprise celebration for me at my school and donated ten fire tablets in my stead. I’ll be forever grateful for receiving such a scholarship."

"Before the completion of my senior year of high school, our senior advisors made it imperative that we register with scholarships.com before we graduated in order to ensure that we were proactively searching for all of the countless scholarships out there. Here I am nearly four years later and beyond thankful for those high school advisors who made us take the time and become apart of a free scholarship database. If I had not been a member of Scholarships.com, I would have missed the alert for the InstaScholarship. Now, I am a huge Instagrammer myself with a side passion in photography (when I'm not busy studying for my nursing exams of course) and when I saw Scholarship.com's summer photo contest on Instagram, I just knew I had to at least try. And I am so glad I did! Four years later and it was long worth the wait! College is expensive, but there are always ways tp help pay, even creative photography opportunities like this that help students reach their dreams in school. I cannot thank you enough for what this scholarship means to me. My tuition for this term can now be paid with a major sigh of relief and allow me more time to focus on the most important thing at hand, my school work. Thank you, Scholarships.com for the coolest scholarship opportunity out there! And to my fellow scholastic peers, best of luck and don't ever give up!"

I also love running track. The satisfaction of crossing the finish line first motivates me to work harder and harder to obtain my goals.

Daniel S.
Billerica, MA

Scholarship Awarded:

"My name is Daniel Spencer and I have a wide range of interests. I love most subjects in school, especially Spanish, history, calculus and chemistry. My goal is to speak fluent Spanish in the near future, along with a number of other languages, including Russian and French. Obviously, I also love foreign languages. I find it incredibly interesting to study and learn about an entirely new way of looking at and describing the world, looking at things from the perspective of another culture. When I am not pursuing academic interests, I like to play video games and hang out with my friends, watch a little bit of baseball (I'm a Red Sox fan, of course) and read. My favorite book series is the great Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien.
When I head off to college, I plan on studying both biochemistry and Spanish, with a special focus in pre-medical studies. Scholarships.com has already helped the first step of my goal to become a doctor with this scholarship. I found and completed this scholarship and a number of other scholarships through their quick, easy-to-use service and I plan on using the website in the coming months."

While my parents have worked very hard in order to give me a college fund, I feel like it’s my future, and it is my responsibility to help pay for it. At first, searching for scholarships was frustrating, and numerous times, I nearly gave up on the idea all together. I would get halfway through reading through the guidelines of a scholarship and realize that it was only for high school seniors or children of disabled veterans or residents of Illinois. While this may seem kind of corny, Scholarships.com helped change my entire perspective on how to apply for scholarships. The website made it easy to find what I was qualified for, and I will always be grateful for the opportunities it has presented to me that I would not have known about otherwise"

Willie X.
Corona, NY

Scholarship Awarded:

"Scholarships.com has been a godsend for me. In addition to helping me win its “You Like Me…You Really Like Me” Facebook Scholarship, it has also provided me with countless ways to pay for college. By connecting me to numerous scholarships that were matched to my goals and achievements, I now have hope that I can actually afford the tuition at Cornell University. Before I discovered this amazing resource, I had to rely on the meager amount of opportunities that were posted on my school bulletin, and information I received from my teachers and friends. Since many scholarships are geared towards specific categories of students, several of the ones I found were unavailable to me. My scholarship search process was tedious and frustratingly long; however, Scholarships.com changed everything and made searching simple. All I had to do was make a new account and answer questions about myself – the site did everything else! Scholarships.com has been the best thing that has happened to me this year and I recommend it to anyone who needs help paying for college."

Scholarships Awarded:

"Scholarships.com was a life saver. As a former immigrant and refugee from a low-income family, I did not initially have access to scholarship, ACT/SAT or college admissions information. I worried a lot about how I was going to find the money to pay for college until I stumbled upon your website. The clean design, simple explanations and quantity of scholarships offered to me was remarkable. By applying to many scholarships, I began to understand what colleges looked for in a student and what I needed to do to succeed. In addition, the effort and hard work that was required of me to achieve success was worth it. It takes drive and some hard work to win a scholarship (or anything for that matter) but it is definitely worth your time. Thanks Scholarships.com!"

Scholarships Awarded:

"I knew paying for college was not going to be easy so the summer after my junior year, I started looking for scholarships to apply for. The first placed I look for scholarships was Scholarships.com. There I was immediately matched with potential scholarships to apply for. Apparently, I could not apply for most of those scholarships until school starts over again in the fall. So I waited and when the scholarships where available I applied for them. Months later, the letters started pouring in and did not stop until now. Thank you Scholarships.com for making the scholarship searching process a whole lot simpler and thanks for playing a role in funding my college expenses."

Ashley D.
Coatesville, PA
Millersville University, PA

Scholarships Awarded:

"I graduated in 2009 at the top of my class. However, coming from a low-income family, I was on my own paying for college. My guidance counselor suggested Scholarships.com as a resource for possible financial aid. I was astonished at the number and quality of scholarships, grants, and internships posted on Scholarships.com. I checked my home page almost daily, and there was always at least one new scholarship that I could apply for. Ultimately I applied for 17 scholarships! Of those 17, I was awarded 3. That may not sound like much but those 3 scholarships amounted to $14,000! And, with the skills I developed applying for those scholarships, I was able to complete specific school related scholarship applications with greater success securing an additional $12,000 plus full tuition to the university I am attending! I worked hard in high school to achieve success and Scholarships.com worked hard helping me find the money to further my success!"

Rulla K.
Charlotte, NC

Scholarships Awarded:

"My plan in gaining scholarship money was simple. I worked hard and applied to every scholarship that I qualified for. Eventually, after all the hard work and time spent on writing essays, creating videos, and filling out applications, I started seeing results. Scholarship notifications went from saying 'You were NOT selected as an applicant' to 'Congratulations! we appreciate your interest and applaud your accomplishments.' I believe that it has been an overall great experience, throughout my senior year. I have applied to roughly thirty scholarships but was the recipient of only two! Which is okay considering my academic, leadership, and community service achievements. I am the recipient of the Foundation of North Carolina's E. R. and Lillian Demmitte Scholarship $3,000 renewable, as well as the people helping people scholarship $10,000. If I was to give advice to rising seniors I would stress the importance of applying to every scholarship that they fit the description for. Not only is it a great experience (I remember how fun I had recording my voice for the Voice of Democracy audio scholarship), it's even a great opportunity to strengthen their writing skills and they might hit the jackpot if enough effort is put in. Even though applying for scholarships was tough, annoying and most of the time disappointing when I come out (most of the time) empty handed, the most important thing that I taught myself was to never give up, and convinced myself that some committee is going to notice my hard work and effort and reward me the money I need to pursue my post secondary education. Scholarships.com was a great tool to gather, organize and most importantly find the right scholarship for me! Thank you for the Scholarships.com team for helping students like me and many others in making the scholarship hunt easier."

Scholarships Awarded:

"I always knew I would be a great candidate for scholarships and grants, but I just needed to know where to look for them. As soon as I found Scholarships.com, it was my one-stop shop for a review of so many scholarships. I have won over fifteen scholarships totaling over $50,000 in awards, including some titles like Dell and Coke Scholar, which is an amazing honor. I would not have found these opportunities without Scholarships.com. I can only hope for the same opportunities for many others who use and will use Scholarships.com, because they really do provide the most scholarship opportunities, and the best detail of how to get a hold of the scholarship provider. Aside from my counselors who provided me with local scholarship opportunities, Scholarships.com was my number one, reliable resource, and I am very grateful for the opportunities they opened for me, and for all the money I now have for college! It has been an amazing experience overall with Scholarships.com."

Ryan F.
Riverside, CA
Dartmouth College, NH

Scholarships Awarded:

" As a junior in High School I knew that I wanted to attend a prestigious college. I also knew that my mother could not afford any kind of college education. During the summer of my junior year in high school I went on a mission, and that mission was to apply for as many scholarships as possible.

My high school counselor advised me to check out Scholarships.com and to search for scholarships there. I applied for every scholarship on Scholarships.com website that I thought that I qualified for. Needless to say my summer was long and tedious because I quickly found out that applying for scholarships required extensive writing.

During the spring of my senior year, all of the writing and headaches finally paid off. I applied for over 20 scholarships, and of course I did not receive them all, but the ones that I did receive made my efforts worth the while.

I currently attend Dartmouth, and with the financial help of these scholarships plus others, my Ivy League education is fully paid for! It is worth it to log onto Scholarships.com and apply."

Fort Pierce, FL

Scholarships Awarded:

"During the summer of my high school year as a freshman I started working toward my career goals and college funding, I began to take college classes as a dual-enrollment student, I knew my parents couldn’t afford to pay for a higher education because I have three other siblings that was faced with the same similar situation I would be faced with after the end of my senior year. I knew I needed a head start to obtain scholarship funding and Scholarships.com was one of my engine searches. During my ninth grade year, I started volunteering in my community, involved on school flag team, held class positions from 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade as president and/or parliamentarian. I worked at a local bank on Friday as a bank greeter, and was involved in academy programs, such as Upward Bound, College Reach Out Program, Educational Talent Search, About Face Program, Youth Crime watch of America, and federal funding programs that was free of charge through my high school years. I was able to finish two years of college and high school in the same year. I received full paid tuition assistance for four years and Pell grant, along with many other scholarships for my entire years of a college education. I can truly say you can not go wrong if you register with Scholarships.com and my plans are to obtain the highest education degree in Rosen College at the University of Central Florida, and one day become an entrepreneur of my own hotel exchange."

Scholarship Awarded:

"As the oldest of six children in a single parent household, I understand the need to succeed with a shortage of money. I've always known that I would attend college, my mother made it clear that it wouldn't be an option! During my senior year, I applied to at least 3 scholarships a day, usually one with an essay and two with simple forms. I got denied on most of them, but finally, I received an email from Dellscholars.com, saying I had won $20,000 + a computer & printer! I was so happy! I was hesitant to apply, because the application took a whole week to fill out, but I am SO happy that I took the chance. I found The Dell Scholar's scholarship on Scholarships.com"

"I received $6,500 in scholarships thanks to Scholarships.com! As a high school senior going to the University of California, Berkeley next year, I had to find out how I was going to pay for it all. I needed information. I signed up for other scholarship websites but I found Scholarships.com the most helpful because of the extensive list of scholarships targeted towards what I had done in my past four years. I can say Scholarships.com truly bridged the gap between knowing what I have done in my life and finally filling out a scholarship form. This website helped me distinguish which scholarships I wanted to apply to in a clear, concise, and easy to use format. Thank you Scholarships.com for helping me win the five scholarships I received! Now I can enjoy my first year in college even more!"

Scholarships Awarded:

"I have found Scholarships.com to be an invaluable resource. As a full-time English as a Second Language (ESL) elementary school teacher and a full-time doctoral student at the University of Denver, finding time to hunt for scholarships that are appropriate for me can be difficult. The free scholarship search service at scholarships.com is a fantastic tool. By providing some basic information about myself, scholarships.com does the work for me by searching other sites and providing me with the information for funding sources that are appropriate for students in my field or at my level of study. In addition, the scholarship search results tab keeps me organized and helps to prioritize by deadlines or other pertinent award criteria. I am deeply grateful to both scholarships.com for helping me find scholarships to apply for as well as to the scholarship committees who have selected me as a recipient. I regularly recommend scholarships.com to friends and family who plan to study at all levels of higher education, but aren’t sure they can due to financial need. Thank you for helping me and so many others to achieve educational success!"

Parma, OH

Scholarships Awarded:

"I have been a member of Scholarships.com for a few years now. My parents were willing to pay for my college education, but they told me that if I got college paid for, they would buy me a car instead. I figured, they'll be paying the same amount of money either way, so why not get a car and a college education? At first it was tedious, filling out all the applications, writing essays, and doing whatever else each scholarship required, but when I got my first phone call that I had won a scholarship, it made it all worth while. I mean, winning $4,000 just for spending two hours writing an essay or letting people know about all the achievements I had in high school was definitely worth it. I would have worked hard in high school even if I was not going to get anything out of it. But Scholarships.com helped me find organizations who were willing to reward those who worked as hard as I did. The biggest thing about students and scholarships, is people are not willing to even apply. There was one scholarship I won just because I was the only person to send in an application! People think, oh, I'll never win it, and don't bother to apply. It does not take that much time, and even if you don't win, the experience is still worth it. I applied to many scholarships, two of the ones I actually won were The Elks Most Valuable Student Scholarship and The Earl Anthony Memorial Scholarship. Total, these two provided me with $9,000 over my four years of college! I am still actively trying to find scholarships I qualify for because spending a few hours out of my day applying is worth the reward in the end."

University of California - Los Angeles

"Scholarships.com has helped me by both making known and available a number of scholarships. I have applied for many in which I would have known nothing about otherwise. I was born and raised in a military family with my dad overseas for many years. I never thought that this much financial aid would be available to families with members who have served in the armed forces. Basically Scholarships.com does the scholarship finding task for me. All that's needed is a few questions on my background and then the website finds scholarships that matches my profile. Definitely convenient and easy. Not to mention the email updates are very helpful as sometimes I forget to stay on top of these types of things. However with their email updates, it keeps me focused and makes sure we as students don't miss opportunities."

Kathy D.
University of California, Berkeley

Scholarships Awarded:

"I'm the oldest of five kids in my family so it was expected that my parents wouldn't be able to pay for my college education. However, I wasn't deterred. As a freshman in high school, I found out scholarships would hopefully, be my source of financial support. I signed up for countless scholarship websites, but Scholarships.com proved to be the most comprehensive and updated website of them all.

The instant I began my senior year of high school, I applied to over twenty-six scholarships and was lucky to receive three. Each scholarship required a great deal of writing, but I didn't falter. The Gates Millennium Scholarship proved to be my golden ticket and because it covered all of my unmet financial need, I returned the two scholarship awards so other high school seniors would be able to afford an education; I also emailed other scholarship programs asking that my application be dismissed.

Never in this lifetime did I expect to receive a full-ride scholarship to the college of my choice. Everyday, I think of how blessed I am and am grateful websites like Scholarships.com exist. Even if you're not the smartest or the most talented, as long as you're willing to display your best efforts, apply for scholarships."

After filling out a profile, listing my interests, and searching through numerous scholarships, I can say that Scholarships.com was the best tool in finding money for my freshman year in college. Through this web site, I was able to enter into the Elks National Foundation Scholarship and later win at the regional level.

Kayleigh V.
Irving, TX

Scholarship Awarded:

"My junior and senior years were very hectic, to say the least. I managed to keep NHS grades throughout school while playing softball and being involved in choir and art. I visited quite a few colleges and fell in love with University of Dallas, it was a perfect fit for me, a private university close to home in Irving Texas. Since the University of Dallas is a private college, it is not inexpensive. UD is also an NCAA DIII which does not provide any athletic scholarships which ruled out softball helping me to pay for college. I signed up for Scholarships.com and began surfing. I kept seeing the Army ROTC scholarship pop up and began thinking, 'Could this be for me?' I was never in JROTC in high school, but my sister and boyfriend were and all of our family enjoyed the academics, activities, community service and patriotism that JROTC provided. I made my decision to apply and have been extremely grateful to have received a full tuition scholarship from the Army ROTC program. This has been a whirl wind dream come true for me! I am going to get to attend my first choice school without financial stress, get my degree, play softball and serve my country!

I don't know if it would have ever popped into my head to apply to Army ROTC without Scholarships.com"

Sheri S.
Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, MA

"I am a non-traditional student of Psychology at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and have applied for a few scholarships through this site.

Scholarships.com is wonderful because it is easy to use. I work for a Community College and have referred students to use this site too-hoping it helps keep the site and sponsors prosperous.

It is great to have the reminder emails at the scholarship deadline times. Especially for forgetful people like me :)

I am in my junior year of college and am paying for a great portion of my education myself. The fees are very high during the school year-not to mention the price of text books are through the roof lately. It is my hope to continue my education and obtain a Master's Degree in the future. Having a wonderful site like Scholarships.com takes the stress out of finding potential scholarships available."

Hannah G.
University of Mississippi, MS

Scholarship Awarded:

"The summer before my senior year was a frantic start to an inevitable task of finding ways to pay for my schooling the upcoming fall. I registered with Scholarships.com with the thought that I would never find any scholarships to help pay for my college. After searching through different scholarships on different search pages, I was not having any luck. I was feeling discouraged until I searched Scholarships.com. My search immediately brought me to a scholarship for The University of Mississippi – The Luckyday Scholarship – which was worth $28,000 at maximum. So, I applied and never thought anything of it. Then, a few months had passed and The University of Mississippi contacted me to let me know that I had been chosen as one of the Luckyday Scholars. My college – Ole Miss – is now being paid in full because this one scholarship that I found on Scholarships.com allowed me to seek opportunities financially with the university. Without Scholarships.com, I probably would not have found the Luckyday Scholarship or been handed a chance of a lifetime: to attend the university that fits me without having to pay a huge amount. Thanks, Scholarships.com!"

SUNY College of Technology At Delhi, NY

Scholarship Awarded:

"I am 41 years old and a single mom of 2 teenagers. I have had a dream of being a Nurse for nearly 25 years. I was not able to go to college when I graduated from high school in 1985. I entered the work force right out of school and thought that I would never be able to go to college - hence - I would never fulfill my dream!

Last year, I made up my mind that I was going to leave my full time job and go to college to pursue my Nursing degree. The next step was to determine how I was going to financially survive and still provide for my children. I discovered Scholarships.com and was led to a scholarship from the Jeannette Rankin Foundation. I applied to 27 different scholarships. I was shocked when I received the phone call at work informing me that I had been chosen for a scholarship for $2,000! Actually, I believe I screamed 'I can't believe it' and I was at work at the time I received the phone call. I am so proud to be considered worthy of this scholarship. I work hard daily on my school work to maintain my grades.

I know that this road is not an easy one, I found that out real fast! But I am keeping my eye on the final goal - the day that I can add RN to my name! Thank you Scholarships.com!"

I have only used the website for a couple of months, but I have already been successful in attaining three thousand extra dollars for school. A couple months ago I didn’t think I would find a way to help pay for my education, but now I know that with a little work and effort there is money waiting for students like me.

I had to wait for it to be approved by my school and college. I got an e-mail last month saying that I was chosen to get this scholarship!

"Last year I received a $500 scholarship from Sallie Mae just for writing a simple 3 paragraph story about why I would like to earn the scholarship. I was contacted 1 month later and was told that I would be receiving a $500 scholarship! It doesn't seem like much for a college scholarship, but $500 paid for a semester and all of my books. I will definitely try to earn another scholarship, just by filling out some information and writing a few things about myself! There's no reason not to try! "

I stumbled upon Scholarships.com on the search engine, tried it, and within 6 months I was able to find a scholarship that was going to help for my 4 year attendance to a university. Yet still in college I continue to use this website to find scholarships for college students; there is plenty of money out there we just have to go and look for it. I was glad I found this website when I was in high school, because it allowed me to prepare myself for other great opportunities that lied ahead."

"I started using Scholarships.com a little before mid way though my senior year. I was referred to Scholarships.com by a friend whose words were, 'you can find anything you’re looking for on there.' I went on and registered, filled out my profile and everything, and within a matter of minutes I had a huge list of scholarships that had been picked out for me based on the information I had entered. Scholarships.com helped me to find a large number of different scholarships with different requirements and monetary value, but all related in some way to the information I had put in. Through Scholarships.com, I was able to apply for several different scholarships, and I’m crossing my fingers that I’ll get a few."

I heard about searching on Scholarships.com and gave it a try. The company had so many options for me to choose from, and even ones that matched my profile. I became estatic and went all out in signing up with different companies featuring scholarships. Without, Scholarships.com I wouldn't have enough money to pay for college and would have gone through much difficulty. Thanks Scholarships.com!"

Mike O.
Whittier, CA

"Well right when my senior year started it hit me.... next year I will be going to college, and I was excited but then a couple of days later it hit me, how was I going to pay for it? I knew my family would be able to pay for about $2,000-$3,000 of the cost and so I did some research. I found out college is expensive. It was about $23,000 per year right away, I knew I wasn't going to be able to come up with that kind of money myself. Therefore, I went to the college center at my school because I knew that's where I could go to find out more about scholarships. The counselor said, 'There are many scholarships you can apply for in paper, but online it would be easier and quicker.' Then he gave me a list of web sites that were scholarship engines and Scholarships.com was one of them. I quickly was able to create my account and soon I was already filling out applications. It was so easy, fast, and convenient. It has probably been my number one source of scholarship help. Thank you very much =]"

Christina K.
Long Beach, CA

"I am a current senior in high school and since the beginning of my junior year, college has been on my mind. Especially the fact that the cost of college is going to leave a hole in my pocket. I knew financial aid wouldn't cover all my cost, so of course I talked to my counselors and teachers and they all told me to apply for scholarships. I knew exactly where to go for that, the one place where I could find thousands and thousands of scholarships all in one place, with information and links. I think you know where that place is! Scholarships.com of course! Instead of looking up hundreds of scholarships separately on Google or Yahoo, I went to the site where I could find all scholarships in one perfect little website. Scholarships.com has really made my last 2 years of high school less stressful than it would have been. Searching for scholarships isn't exactly the easiest thing to do, but with Scholarships.com it made everything easy as pie!"

"Finding out about Scholarships.com was from our school's meeting, explaining the basic steps towards our final year of high school. I took notes and the minute I got home, I looked up Scholarships.com.

Scholarships.com helped me find awards that match my criteria. There were SO MANY awards listed, you had to apply for at least more than one. Scholarships.com offers different scholarships for any type of person, whether they have a special disability, or they were born 7 feet tall, there's an award out there, and it's not that difficult to apply for.

If it weren't for Scholarships.com, both myself and others out there, wouldn't be able to have a chance to apply for FREE scholarships, like Scholarships.com offers. It's a great benefit for both us and the website as well."

All you have to do is apply for them. Scholarships.com was definitely a big help when it came to getting money. My favorite thing about Scholarships.com, is that they inform you by sending someone an email when a scholarship deadline is approaching. The reason is because I tend to forget alot of things. So by Scholarships.com sending me an email every now and then, it was very helpful. Thanks Scholarships.com!!!"

"As a senior graduating from a private high school not located in my home town, I found that I did not qualify for scholarships from the city that my high school is located in since I was not a resident. My home town had many scholarship offers, but since I was not graduating from a high school in my home town, I did not qualify. So I had to turn to alternative sources. I found that there were many offerings. Although I have not yet heard back from many that I have applied for. I feel certain that at least one will be made available for me. I plan to attend Seton Hill University I have been admitted into their Music Therapy program. Thank you for the valuable service you provide."

"Scholarships.com has helped me become more aware of all the scholarships available to people everywhere. I applied to many scholarships both on the Scholarships.com website and sponsor sites also. I did not succeed in winning any Scholarships from any of the sites, but I do plan to continue trying throughout my college career. Without Scholarships.com, I would not have known about many of the wonderful scholarship opportunities out there. Thank You"

"Scholarships.com has been very helpful in locating scholarships on-line by doing all of the leg work for me, I didn't have to actually write letters to all of the schools and organizations to find out what scholarships they have available, and whether or not I actually qualify for them. Scholarships.com has already researched the schools and the requirements, curriculums, etc. All I had to do is pick the one's that would be beneficial to me, apply my information, and sit back and wait for the opportunities to come rolling in. Thank you so much Scholarships.com you're awesome!!!"

"Scholarsips.com has helped me out far more than I believed it would. To be completely honest, I thought it was a fake or a 'gimmick'. I needed help financially to continue through to college and I heard about this website from my own searching... Because of this website and awesome opportunity, I received a $576 scholarship to my college!!! I get to use that for books, supplies, etc. So my story is short and sweet. Going into debt with a loan is much harder to live with than receiving FREE MONEY! So, thank you Scholarships.com! Because of you I can continue my education debt-free!!!"

"I never thought that just by spending about ten minutes on Scholarships.com might save my whole life! It actually made it easier for me to choose the right college for myself - the most difficult decision every high school graduate needs to make.

Having a hard time finding the right college for myself, I was totally frustrated looking up on the Internet for several hours. The main problem was not, as many people might face at this time, chosing a perfect major, but it was the matter of the bulk of fees they ask you for. Having been in the US for only about 2 months, I was still a non-resident in California. Hence I was supposed to pay non-resident tuition as well for the whole year, which seemed almost impossible. It was only then that one of my cousins was standing by my side watching me as I went on from web to web when she asked me what kind of college I was looking for. And it was only after then she told me the website for getting free money to college - Scholarships.com - which gave me a new ray of hope. Scholarships.com made it possible for me to go for higher education in one of the best universities of the country."

Anna Maria College, MA

"When I first looked for scholarships I had no idea where to look, but my guidance counselor told me about this wonderful site that brings you the information on possible scholarships you may be qualified for. Through Scholarships.com I found a few scholarships that have completely changed my life. I applied to the school of my choice and helped me pay for my tuition and what's even better is that some of them are renewable so I am able to re-apply as long as I meet the criteria of each scholarship.

These scholarships have made my dream and my family's dream come true because out of seven brothers and sister including my twin sister, only my twin and myself are currently in college and will be the only ones to get a degree thanks to the help of Scholarships.com and their resources. I came from a lower income family and a school that has more of a bad reputation than does credits. I overcame many obstacles including learning English since my native lingua franca is Spanish. The scholarships not only helped me financially but also showed my fellow schoolmates that everyone and any one can get financial help to go on to get a degree at an institution of higher learning. I cannot stress how much this site and the scholarships have changed my life for the best."

Allyson P.
Baylor University, TX

"Ever since I was a little girl, I always wanted to go to Baylor University in Waco, Texas but knew that it was just out of my reach due to financial reasons. It was a private school and my family had always gotten by and then some. We just couldn't afford tuition for such a prestigious college. However, as I grew older and was exposed to all of my options, my hope grew as well. I also knew that although my grades were great and I was proud of myself as an academic, I was not running with the top dogs, so to speak. I wasn't in the top ten percent and I didn't play sports. That put a lot of scholarships far from my grasp. My numbers were good though from test scores to GPA. So, I began searching every outlet for independent scholarships, which is what brought me to Scholarships.com. Also, this was the same time that I finally decided to apply at Baylor, and I got in! I'm telling the absolute truth when I say that the day my acceptance letter came in the mail, I literally jumped up and down, the paper worth its weight in gold to me. All I had to worry about now was the dark cloud hanging over my head, the money. It turns out, Baylor awarded me enough scholarship, financial aid, and work-study money and I would be able to attend class there in the fall! I couldn't be happier with the way things played out, even though I wasn't awarded any independent scholarships from the websites. Thanks, Scholariships.com for giving me hope that there's always an alternative opportunity."

"Scholarships.com has helped me so much. My junior year I worried about how I was going to pay for college and all the stress that comes along with it. Finally when my senior year came along, I was clueless. My guidance counselor told me about Scholarships.com and I checked it out one night. I was on it for about 2 hours and kept coming back every half hour to see if there was more I could do. It was such a great help and I am graduating high school in about two weeks and I have $2,000 in scholarships. It may not sound like a lot but compared to 0 it is a lot more me. Scholarships.com has helped me so much and I would recommend it to anyone!"

"During my sophomore year of community college, I started to search the Internet for a website that will help me find money to fund my education for an architecture program at Mississippi State University. After a few tries, one of my teachers told me about Scholarships.com. To my surprise, this website was worth the time checking out. Scholarships.com was a great help to me. This website has given me access to information on a variety of scholarships. At first, I worried about finding the time to remember certain scholarships deadlines because of my job and my nineteen hour school schedule. Thanks to the special email alerts from Scholarships.com, I stayed updated on the scholarships I was applying for. After applying for the scholarships, I won one from the Dale & Bea Stuart Foundation. I never knew that my access to scholarship money was just a click a way. Thanks, Scholarships.com."

"Finding the scholarship on Scholarships.com was the easy part. After signing up and filling out my profile, there was little left for me to do. So I started applying. I saw the Voice of Democracy Audio Essay competition and sent in my registration form. After writing and recording my audio essay, I found a VFW post to sponsor me. I sent in my submission and waited. After a few months, I sent an e-mail to the director asking if there was any news. I had not heard if I had advanced in the judging or not. She replied saying that I had not made it into the top three. I was very disappointed, but I kept trying. A month later I received a letter from the Voice of Democracy headquarters. It contained a check! There had been a slight mix up in names, but I had received second place with a cash award! I was very excited. Thank you Scholarships.com"

"Scholarships.com has made my scholarship search so much easier. A lot of scholarship websites have promotional scholarships/contests that pretty much anyone can apply to. Scholarships.com includes those and many more, like one specific to my talents and interests. It is hard to win scholarships when there are so many people applying to them. This website has given me so many choices of scholarships which makes my chances a lot higher of getting something. I really appreciate all the hard work the people at Scholarships.com put into running the website."

Through Scholarships.com I have been able to fill out an endless list of scholarships and gain that so precious aid which is very useful to pay that scary debt list.

"I was really worried about getting financial aid for college since FAFSA was not going to cover the cost for school, and I didn't want to have to take out a bunch of loans. Scholarships.com helped me find scholarships that applied to my major and interests, and I have received over $500 in aid--and I still have a couple of applications to finish! What's even better is that I get e-mails when new scholarships have been released so I don't have to constantly check back. I'm really glad I've used Scholarships.com!"

It hasn't been easy. I took me 10 years to get my AA. Right before graduation I started to stress out about how I was going to pay for a BA. They are much more expensive at a 4 year university. Then I found Scholarships.com. Although I haven't been awarded any scholarships, I know there is hope."

Tyler H.
Blacklick, OH

"Although I never won any of the scholarships I applied for on Scholarships.com; I was selected once as a semi-finalist for one certain scholarship. Nonetheless, through filling out the many scholarship forms, writing countless essays, and doing much research I have come to learn what colleges and scholarship programs are looking for and how to demonstrate that I am a perfect match for them. After just a few sets of scholarships it becomes apparent that the top four things scholarships seem to be concerned with are service, school participation, GPA and SAT/ACT, and determination. However it soon became apparent that there was no need to fret about finding a scholarship that suits my own personal achievement in these qualities. Scholarships.com did all the work and accurately conducted a search and gave me a colorful list of scholarships that were appropriate for me. Even more, with senior year being so busy and senioritis at its worse, applying for scholarships seems to be the one thing that always gets pushed the furthest down the to-do list. However, no worries! Scholarships.com sends you emails warning about upcoming scholarship deadlines and preventing you from missing your opportunity to apply for as many scholarships as possible. In all, my experience with Scholarships.com has been wonderful! I never missed a scholarship deadline, I was able to excitingly make it into some semi-finalist scholarship competition, and now know what it takes for next year to win scholarships! Thank you Scholarships.com!"

I've never won anything in my life, so I'm still happy that I came in second and won a Kindle Fire! Scholarships.com has helped me with my college search and has given me chances to apply for as many scholarships as I can. Once again, I thank you guys for nominating me and for letting me participate in this contest. It meant a lot to me. If I didn't give up on trying to win a scholarship, I will never give up in life. I'll always persevere. Thank you very much!"

"Since joining Scholarships.com, I have broadened my educational horizons with the help of the resources available on the site. Before signing up, I had no idea how to afford college when I am an independent student and would be receiving no financial assistance from my family; I also had no idea what scholarships I was eligible for – my method used to be “sign up for everything and maybe I’ll get lucky.” Scholarships.com has been an immense help in selecting scholarships so that I don’t waste my time and I’m able to focus on graduation and exploring career interests rather than stressing about how I’m going to afford my education. In the few short weeks I have been a member, I’ve received more college planning help from Scholarships.com than I have in four years from counselors, after-school programs and other sites. I am truly grateful for all of the resources I've been provided by Scholarships.com!"

Not only did I have to start all over again in my requirements but I also had to switch to another college. I knew I would lose my loan and my teaching scholarship I had received and since I obviously could not afford to pay my way through school out of pocket, I decided to check out Scholarships.com. I wanted something that seemed reachable yet was simple and wouldn't take too much time out of my already hectic schedule. Sure enough, I found the Short & Tweet, which was everything and more I was looking for and more!"

Through Scholarships.com, I’ve realized I don’t need to be a straight-A student to be eligible for help and applications for the many scholarships available double as excellent writing exercises. For example, entering the Short & Tweet Scholarship helped strengthen my summarizing skills and I now get nice comments about my concise conclusions.

"How was I going to pay for college? That was the ultimate question I asked myself after I was admitted. There is so much 'free money' out there waiting, but it was hard to find scholarships that I would be able to relate to and apply for.

All I did was make a profile that was true to myself and they did all the rest to pinpoint me to scholarships that were right for me. Who knows?

Lakewood, CO

Scholarship Awarded:

"I like to tell people I'm in my mid-life education crisis since I am an older student, but I just love learning. I'd probably stay in school forever if I could afford it. I only wish I had done it before, because a lot of my dreams and aspirations, like studying law, got put on hold for far too long. I am glad I decided to follow my dreams and go back to school. I was inspired by many people who did the same thing and it helped me realize it's never too late (or too early for that matter). I enjoy attending Metropolitan State College of Denver. The people here have been a great help in guiding me toward my goals. I am currently working on a double major in Economics and Finance, and am considering adding a minor in Accounting. The staff here is as committed as I've ever seen to giving every student a top-quality education. I have gotten so much help from my advisors, professors, and the staff here at Metro that I feel privileged to be able to volunteer my time and energy to give something back and help enrich the lives of other students. I am honored to be serving as a justice on the Student Court, and I am also the current President of the Financial Management Association here at Metro. I was recently notified I was selected for the Provost's Honor Roll. Without financial aid I wouldn't have been able to pursue my dreams and achieve any of this. Scholarships.com is a great resource in navigating the world of financial aid. I was simply ecstatic to be selected for a scholarship and highly recommend this service to all my fellow students. We all need help sometimes, and Scholarships.com really makes a difference!"

Scholarship Awarded:

"I definitely feel excited that I have been chosen as the winner of the $1000 Scholarships.com College Design Scholarship when I received the email from Scholarships.com!

I found Scholarships.com as a great site that enables to fulfill both my academic goals and other interests. While I am majoring in Architecture, I began to search for different opportunities in order to learn and experience in the design world. Eventually, one of my approaches is applying for various scholarships to improve my writing skills and introduce my major and its significant meaning in my life.

During my early years in college, scholarships appear to be a difficult process for me because it deals with a lot of writing and it is too competitive to win the award out of the other honor students. By receiving this award, I become confident in other things that I used to be afraid to do. It encourages me to take a step closer to try participating in other opportunities such as internships and community services. Since it had so much impact on me, I think Scholarships.com is the first scholarship site that I relied on and I feel grateful to be given an opportunity for more confidence in myself. Thank you, Scholarships.com!"

Thanks to Scholarships.com I am now able to breathe a little easier when it comes to college finances. Thank you so much Scholarships.com for the opportunity and I can hardly believe I was so fortunate to be chosen as a winner just from telling my friends how awesome this website is!

Barnegat, NJ

Scholarships.com "Tell A Friend" $1,000 Winner

"At first, Scholarships.com was just another scholarships website with various scholarships to apply for. With finances being tight year round in my family, every little bit helps. The philosophy of 'nothing risked, nothing gained' has dominated the scholarship search. I’ve applied to so many scholarships online, I’ve lost count. So, seeing a scholarship with the only requirements being telling my friends about Scholarships.com on Facebook or Twitter, I figured, “Why not?” Another entry into the large pool of people trying to get anything they can to finance their education. So, when I got the email that I’d actually won something, all of the failed attempts paid off, in a way. Winning something reminded me of why I have kept trying and why I will keep trying. I have a goal: that goal is to graduate from Liberty University with Honors and with as little debt as possible. Thanks to my first ever online scholarship win from Scholarships.com, it’s one step closer to achieving that dream. "

"Scholarships.com is a great localized source for finding all kinds of scholarships of all sizes. It's a huge timesaver; instead of having to track down scholarships all over the Internet, obtaining money for college simply becomes a matter of applying for scholarships (many of which require only a simple online application) and then just waiting (and waiting, and waiting, and waiting) for the results to come in."

"I had always wished to attend college, but over the past few years I have become increasingly aware of how expensive it really is, especially in today's economic times. Fortunately, my school's academic counselor started my classmates and I on a broad scholarship search - that's what led me to Scholarships.com. Scholarships.com was very helpful in allowing me to find the grants and scholarships that I need to help pay for my education. I found many potential scholarships and have now started to apply for as many as I can, in an easy, helpful environment. Thank you to all those at Scholarships.com who've helped me get started on my path to college tuition.

"Now a senior in high school, the pressures of graduation and pursuing college have been heavy. The counselors recommended me to the Scholarships.com website, where I found tons and tons of scholarships to choose from. The site is a great tool: accessible and easy to use. It is well organized and constantly prompted me on new scholarship opportunities that awaited. On my journey to apply for scholarships, I heard about the "Tell-A-Friend" Sweepstakes from my best friend. The application took literally ten minutes to complete! I am grateful to have won $1,000 dollars - my first scholarship. This scholarship will be a great assistance in funding my college tuition, and a big incentive to continue to apply for more, thus I am looking forward to the many other opportunities I have in store. Thanks again Scholarships.com."

Scholarships.com "Tell A Friend" $1,000 Sweepstakes Winner

"I really like Scholarships.com because compared to other websites I have used it seems less complicated; all you do is create a profile and then the website does the searching for you. Plus Scholarships.com tends to really focus on which scholarships apply to you because of different variables that are part of your profile. For instance, the Tell-A-Friend Scholarship was right for me because it applied to college students no matter what their major. Plus there was not an essay involved which helped me because that is not one of my strong points. I would highly recommend Scholarships.com to anybody who needs help paying for college."

When I received the call that I had won Tell-A-Friend Sweepstakes I couldn't believe it. It sounded too good to be true. I only entered in the sweepstakes just for the heck of it, not actually believing I would win. I was waiting to be told it was just a big joke and to start being laughed at but it never happened.

"Scholarships.com is great. I really need some scholarships because I want to become a dietitian, but every other web site I went to was either really confusing or took a really long time because you had to read through all the scholarship opportunities to find one you are eligible for. It was great that on Scholarships.com all you have to do is fill out some information about yourself and then let the site find scholarships you are eligible for. I am already working on essays and everything because now rather than spending all my time looking for scholarships I'm eligible for, I can just go on there and find one within five minutes. It has been really helpful. I have told many people about Scholarships.com and they all loved the site. My experience there has been wonderful."

Scholarships.com "Tell A Friend" $1,000 Sweepstakes Winner

"The experience that I've had with Scholarships.com this far has been incredible. I think I had only been a member of the website for a couple of months when I found out that I was one of the $1,000 winners in the Tell-A-Friend Sweepstakes, and I absolutely could not have been more shocked. The letter said that emails had been sent to me regarding my prize, but I had not responded. Can you blame me, honestly? I think I get a couple dozen junk emails a day saying that I have just won money or that there is cheap land available in Costa Rica, but the emails from Scholarships.com were - pardon my use of a corny phrase - the 'real deal'. Aside from being incredibly convenient in my search for college scholarships, I have learned from this experience that Scholarships.com provides money through the website itself. I saw my entrance into the sweepstakes as a complete longshot, but it paid off, big time. I'm going to take this $1,000 and put it into the bank ASAP to get a little bit of my college education paid for early. Thank you, Scholarships.com, for your invaluable help!!!"

"Finding scholarships can be very difficult sometimes, especially when you do not know where to look. I for once have been in that situation, but Scholarships.com has completely fulfilled that need. With this website I have been able to apply for scholarships at the right time and complete requirements because of the systematic site. It has been easy to access, and very easy to find scholarships.

Scholarships.com also makes more time in the day for juniors and seniors in highschool. Since there is so much schoolwork to worry about, Scholarships.com makes it less time consuming since all the necessary information is all on the site, and given at the right amount of time to get the work done. I have had great experiences with several scholarships, and I so very much appreciate this website. Scholarships.com is worth the dedication for a better future, it's done wonders for me and will do the same for you!"

When I knew that I wanted to study abroad, I went to Scholarships.com and found so many scholarship programs for students like me, who needed the funds to be able to fulfill my dream of going abroad. My younger brother also benefited from this website. He received the Christopher Columbus scholarship and received $1,500 from it. He is using the money towards his tuition at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Scholarships.com is fantastic; quick and easy to use!"

"I found Scholarships.com and began my search through thousands of available scholarships, grants, and sweepstakes. They evaluated all of my activities with my goals and gave me the scholarships that matched me and not just random websites. They also filtered out the fraudulent sites that I've even seen a few friends fall into. So far I've been able to get a few things here and there from companies, and since I'm a college student now, every penny counts for something. Scholarships.com still helps me to find money no matter what my status in college is."

"As a senior I have been so busy since the first day of school. I find myself preoccupied with loads of Pre Calculus homework that involves more letters than actual numbers. When I'm not doing Pre-Cal, I am spending my limited time reading stories in Old English for English IV. With all this homework, I have found that time is precious. Preparing for college by getting transcripts, ranks, and test scores in also recieves quite a bit of my time. This is why I am so glad that Scholarships.com is available for me to organize the scholarships that I am eligible for. It is a great website that allows me to sort through all the available scholarships and prepare to send them out. Not only does Scholarships.com help me to find scholarships, it also alerts me when new ones come up. Without Scholarships.com I would most likely carry around another stuffed binder, and add to the burden that is put on my back daily."

"As soon as I entered high school as a meager 9th grader, I've known that I would be needing significant financial aid to help me pay for college. As terrified as I was back then, I now see that finding scholarships that actually apply to me, isn't the excruciatingly painful process I once perceived it to be! This is all because I found Scholarships.com, as if it was sent from the heavens!

Scholarships.com has helped ease my mind about paying for college which in turn, helps keep me focused on my school career now, as a high school senior. I haven't found any site that compares to the effectiveness, accuracy and ease-of-use that Scholarships.com. All in all, Scholarships.com has helped me find accessible and achievable scholarships that are actually applicable to my extremely-hard-to-match lifestyle. Thank you Scholarships.com, you've really taken a load of my mind!"

Exhibition Industry Foundation

Scholarship Submitted: Helen Brett Scholarship

The Helen Brett scholarship was established by Robert Kolinek, CEM, CMP, and named for his grandmother, Helen Brett, who was a pioneer in the tradeshow industry. The purpose of the scholarship is to assist individuals who are exploring the study of exhibition management with the end goal of advancing their career in this field. The scholarship serves to promote the exhibitions and events industry by attracting college level students into the field of study and encouraging their pursuit with financial support.

"The Helen Brett Scholarship for the Exhibition Industry has been awarded to Michael McClatchy of the University of Central Florida, Rosen College of Hospitality Management. Although, Michael's application was not received though Scholarships.com; of our top 20 candidates, I would say at least half of them were. Also, we believe Scholarships.com helped increase our applicant pool 10 fold. We went from 3 applications last year to 31 this year...the biggest surprise was the number that were requested. I probably sent out an unprecedented 250+. So, thank you Scholarships.com for connecting students with scholarship opportunities."

Scholarships Submitted: Frame My Future Scholarship

The Frame My Future Scholarship Contest is not your typical chance to win scholarship money for school...there are no long forms to fill out or an extensive list of requirements that you need to meet. It's meant to be a fun and creative way to earn scholarship money!

"I am the scholarship administrator for Church Hill Classics' 'Frame My Future' Scholarship Contest, and am writing to share the success of our first year running this program. Church Hill Classics created the 'Frame My Future' Scholarship Contest in an effort to give back during these challenging economic times. With our different approach in scholarship requirements, it has encouraged students across the nation to create visions for themselves for their own success and futures. After a seven-month entry period, asking students to frame their future on an 8.5” x 11” piece of paper, and expressing how they see themselves in their personal and professional lives after college, we received over 3,300 entries and visions! It was quite inspiring. I posted information about our scholarship on Scholarships.com back in September, where they featured us on their blog, as a 'Scholarship of the Week.' This site communicated our scholarship to so many of its members, driving students to our scholarship’s entry page. We want to say thank you to Scholarships.com for being a trustworthy communication channel to so many success-driven students."
