[Page 5] Top Undergraduate Scholarships to Apply for in 2025

Most undergraduate scholarships are available for college students of any grade level, though some may target college seniors or incoming freshmen. Undergraduate scholarships are usually also open to all types of undergraduate degree-seeking students, including those pursuing a bachelor's degree and an associate degree. Some undergraduate scholarships are also open to those pursuing trade school, such as the Uniball's Skilled Trades Scholarship.

College students are the target group for many scholarship awards. While you can begin applying for financial aid and scholarships while in high school, many students begin or continue their scholarship search while in college. There are undergraduate scholarships available for each type of degree and for each grade level.

There are scholarships available for all different kinds of students, including graduate students, high school seniors, high school underclassmen, and even recent graduates who have student debt. Starting your search as early as possible gives you more time to find and accumulate scholarship funds, but you can continue applying while pursuing a graduate degree.
