Frequently Asked Questions
The easiest way to find history scholarships is by creating a free profile on bold.org and searching through the list of available scholarships. Students can search by categories of education and public safety to find specific scholarships based on their college major or interests. Students can also go to the financial aid office of their university to see what other scholarships might be available for them.
Most scholarships are intended for high school seniors or current college students, but students should begin applying for scholarships as early as possible. On Bold.org, students can begin applying for scholarships as soon as they enter high school. Scholarship deadlines happen year-round so there is no specific time of year you need to begin applying for scholarships. Some students might find it best to apply during the summer when school is not in session so they have more time to focus on creating winning essays and other great application materials. Many scholarships are awarded annually, so if you happen to miss the deadline, you can apply next year!
You'll know if you're eligible for a scholarship by reading the eligibility requirements in the description. Bold.org makes it easy to learn what the requirements are by clearly labeling them in a bulleted list at the top of each scholarship page. For instance, a once scholarship may available to only history majors while another could be for anyone studying STEM subjects. Certain scholarships might also require students to demonstrate financial need or to have certain career interests so applicants must ensure they fit the requirements.
