Learn More About Other Types of Scholarships

Every college student is different, coming from a unique background, holding specific needs, and pursuing various majors. In recognition of the distinct qualities and characteristics of students, there are scholarships that seek to support these undergraduate and graduate students.  

From unique talents and academic achievements to community service and specific fields of study, there's a world of opportunities waiting for you. On Bold.org, scholarship funds exist that defy traditional categorization, such as scholarships for community service or even scholarships specifically for left-handed undergraduate students.

The more restrictions a scholarship has, the fewer eligible applicants there will be. A smaller applicant pool increases your chances of winning due to the limited competition. So, embrace your uniqueness and apply for scholarships by type!


Student-Specific Scholarships

Student-specific scholarships are designed to support specific groups of students who may face unique challenges or underrepresentation in higher education. These scholarships target minorities, women, first-generation college students, and students with disabilities. By providing financial assistance and opportunities, these scholarships aim to foster inclusivity and diversity within academic institutions. These scholarships not only provide financial assistance but also empower students to overcome barriers and succeed in their educational journeys.


Merit-Based Scholarships

There are many merit-based scholarships for students who showcase academic excellence. These academic scholarships are great options for students who display exceptional test scores or grades. A merit-based scholarship often has specific GPA requirements and awards students based on academic performance and other criteria.


Need-Based Scholarships

College can be difficult to afford for any student or family, but those with significant financial need require additional help with their college expenses. A student's financial situation can unlock specific scholarships that most students aren't eligible for, giving them a greater chance of winning. 


Grants to Pay off Student Loans

While many scholarships aim to help students avoid taking out loans, there are also scholarships and grants for students and graduates who have student loan debt. Apply for these grants to help you pay off your student loans!


Community Service Scholarships

There are many scholarships available for students involved in extracurricular activities or service work. Students who engage in community service or volunteer work with community organizations are rewarded for their hard work and generosity through many scholarships.


Mental Health Scholarships

Students who struggle with mental illness can have a hard time maintaining their grades and completing their degrees. Due to the additional difficulties that students with mental health struggles face, there are many scholarship opportunities to support them. 


International Scholarships

While applicants on Bold.org have to be studying in the United States, there are college scholarships available to support international students who have moved to the U.S. for their education. Some scholarships support all international students while other scholarships may focus on learners from specific countries or cultural backgrounds. 

In addition to international scholarships, you can find study-abroad scholarships!


No-Essay Scholarships

No-essay scholarships are often competitive due to the easy application process, but they're great options for busy students! No-essay scholarships often require just a few clicks to apply, making them quick and simple scholarships to apply for.

To have the best chance of winning, students should also consider applying for scholarships that require essays. Most scholarships fall into this category. You can find some of the best essay-based scholarships here on Bold.org!


Military Scholarships

Military scholarships are dedicated to supporting the educational aspirations of current service members, veterans, and their families. These scholarships recognize the sacrifices made by military personnel and aim to ease the financial burden of higher education as a gesture of gratitude for their service.

Athletic Scholarships

There are many athletic scholarships available to students who excel in sports. No matter what sport you play, how long you've been playing, or what level you're at, you can benefit from athletic scholarships.

In addition to scholarships open to all athletes, there are also scholarships for students involved in particular sports. These opportunities include scholarships for students who play golf, soccer, or track.


Full-Tuition Scholarships

All scholarships are valuable, but full-time scholarships can be the most helpful when paying for college expenses. Full-tuition scholarships are worth tens of thousands of dollars and can cover all or most of your tuition, while smaller scholarships often need to be stacked together to cover your costs. 


Scholarship Need by Type

Students of all backgrounds and identities are in need of scholarship aid. Many different types of scholarships are designed specifically to uplift and support students with additional needs or barriers.

Students who often need scholarships the most include those from low-income families, first-generation college students, those with significant financial obligations, and students facing socio-economic disadvantages. Scholarships by type are tailored to support students from diverse circumstances, ensuring that financial assistance is accessible to those who need it most

By breaking down scholarships by type, it becomes easier for students facing financial challenges to find opportunities that resonate with their specific situations and aspirations. Additionally, students pursuing expensive degrees or studying in high-cost-of-living areas may also find themselves in greater need of financial assistance.
