Thank you for telling me. I'm already having a bad enough summer semester not being able to afford books. And I just wasted my time with Niche scholarships I'll obviously never win. I'm having the WORST luck, but thank you for telling me all this.

God sent! everything she said I've faced, I've been looking for scholarships ever since my freshman year an I honestly KNOW& FEEL that If I use the information she gives I'll win at least one. I been through so many "scholarship" scams that sold my email to so many college and other websites its annoying. ( new subscribers+)

After being in college for 2 years now, I wanted to come back to your video and say thank you! Your advice actually helped (versus other sources I've seen). I've earned over $3000 in scholarships simply by applying to scholarships in my area. $3000 doesn't sound like a lot but that is my full tuition for two semesters. I feel like everyone in high school should watch this video because it truly is the best advice on YouTube.

Wow!! I’m so sad that my son’s high school counselor didn’t share many of these local scholarships with him. We’re relatively new to the community and I know of some that have been awarded but some we didn’t even know about. He starts college in the fall and we’re still searching for scholarship money. 😢

I appreciate your help. I googled "New York community foundation scholarships" and I didn't really see much. To be honest, it's extremely overwhelming. My son is currently a Junior who has an IEP, which concerns me. Aside from that, I'm a single mom. His father passed away in 2020. So we would definitely benefit from scholarships. His school College counselor hasn't been as helpful which is extremely stressful. She started to talk about community college and that is not the route we want to go. It's been very frustrating.

I have a hard time believing there are any scholarships for the average kid. My oldest is currently a college sophomore and we are paying almost 100% full price. She received a small merit scholarship of $2000 a year for her grades/ACT and gets $200/yr from her department. The only financial aid given from the government was a small work-study and loans. She applied for numerous legit scholarships - ones that required essays, videos, original art/poetry, recommendations, the works and yielded nothing. I honestly believe that if you are not a super genius, super talented, or have some rare quality. There are no scholarships for you. The average kid from a family with an average income will pay loans until they die.

You are amazing and thank you so much ! I found local scholarships in my county that I would have never found if it weren't for you . Again, Thank you .

[Joro]

You know I am very thankful for someone like you. Great video, I watched a previous one and I hope it comes a long way 🙏

[Denise-vrku]

Thank you so much for this video. My oldest will be a junior in high school for the upcoming school year, and lately it's been very challenging trying to win a "no-essay" Scholarship and now I know why. Today, I'm activating her membership to join Honor Society so we can start applying for scholarships through their organization. I've also found some that we can apply for that the actual state offers and the school district as well. I'm going to browse around to see if our city offers some as well. This is a long road, so legitimate information will help.

Just did the search for my local area and I've found several community scholarship sites. Thank you!

My son is still in high school and attends a private Christian school in the next county over from where we reside. When looking for local scholarships, I’m noticing most require him to be in attendance at our city high school. Then, when I google the local foundation scholarships in the county he goes to school, it often states he needs to be a resident of that county or attend their public school. Any insights? Thank you!

[WEEBLE_FORCE]

Thank you so much! I didn't think to look local and especially at my school

Scheduled a meeting with my counselor for tomorrow!

Thanks for all you do for scholarship seekers

no wonder I was having trouble, my two other tabs open were the niche and nitro scholarship 🤣

[upx_boi]

Oh man, wished I seen your videos before I mass applied to tons of "easy scholarships". Now I'm stuck un-subscribing and deleting emails. I plan on trying to find some local ones now though I think I aplied to most of them now.

10:01 i used this way and sadly (actually i knew that before but i wasnt sure) all the application forms of my country that i saw so far insist having a degree/diplomes etc which is not possible for me cuz i just graduated high school and really want that scholarship + i know sholarship varis but does my highschool transcrept matter at all? Is my GPA really important?

[MoneySnatcher]
