Frequently Asked Questions
Different scholarships have different sets of eligibility requirements, so make sure to check that the scholarship you are applying to is applicable to you. Many of the scholarships listed don't have many requirements. Since there aren't as many scholarships specifically for high school freshmen, it is more common for freshmen to apply to scholarships with a wider eligibility range.
There are many scholarship websites out there that you can look into throughout your search. However, not all of those other sites have the same user-friendly application process nor as many scholarships geared towards individual interests as Bold.org does. Bold.org has new scholarships opening up all the time, constantly giving new opportunities for scholarships.
Use the filters on the scholarship search page, specifically narrowing the search to students in high school. There are many scholarships open to students of any education level, but still, make sure to check eligibility requirements.
