Frequently Asked Questions
There’s no right or wrong time to start applying for scholarships. Many high school students choose to begin applying the summer before they become high school seniors. This is because when a student is a high school senior, they will generally start planning out how to pay for college. However, high school underclassmen can apply as well. Some scholarships are exclusively available to high school seniors, but many scholarships are open to students of any grade level, as long as applicants are at least fourteen years old.
The application process is fairly simple, especially if students choose to apply through a scholarship platform like Bold.org. By making a free profile, students can quickly match with college scholarships that fit their preferences and needs. The hardest part of applying for scholarships is typically writing a personal statement. Some scholarships do not require students to write an essay, but for those that do require it, the essay is a deciding factor in your application. Fortunately, the essay question is usually a few paragraphs at most, so it should not take too much time to write. Personal statements are an opportunity for the applicant to showcase their personality and talents to the donor.
If you are a student living with Type 1 Diabetes, you are entitled to receive accommodations. Once you've chosen your college, it's important to reach out to the institution's Disability Services Office to explore the support options available to you.
