Frequently Asked Questions
How to apply for scholarships in Missouri
Applying for scholarships on Bold.org takes only a few simple steps, the first of which is creating your free account. Click on any of the scholarships listed on this page to be redirected to where you can start your account. Once you've signed up, fill out your profile, highlighting educational experience, interests, and other important factors that could help you to stand out to donors.
When can I start applying?
It's never too early to start applying for scholarships. Students 14 and older are eligible to sign up for an account on Bold.org if they are pursuing an education in the United States. Bold.org offers scholarships year-round, so there are constantly opportunities for students to prepare for college by applying to Virginia scholarships.
Are scholarships in Missouri taxable income?
Scholarships awarded are sent directly to the school of the winner and not to the students themselves. If students are not in college or enrolled for the future, their scholarship funds are held in an account for them until they go to college. Since students are not directly given the scholarship money, it is not considered income.
