Scholarships / Local
The biggest scholarships you've never heard of.
National search sites surface the same 200 scholarships everyone applies to. The real money for most kids is at the local layer — your community foundation runs 30-300 named awards open only to residents of your county, and your parent's employer probably has a dependent scholarship nobody told them about. Two look-ups, two finds.
Why this matters: the applicant pools for these scholarships are tiny — usually your county or your parent's company. Compared to national programs with 50,000+ applicants per year, your odds are 10-100x better. And the awards are real money: $1K-$25K is the typical range.
Where do you live?
Pick your state. We'll show you the community foundations that serve your area — each one administers anywhere from 10 to 700+ named scholarships through a single application.
