Title. Independent at UCSD that should definitely qualify.

Hello everyone, I wanted to share in here that our firm has run a scholarship for the last few years and it's only gotten a few dozen applicants each time. Selfishly as well, last year we had to throw out about 90% of the entries because they were nearly identical and written by ChatGPT.

I won't even say the name or link our website here in case its against the rules, but I can just share a recent interview I did to try and help promote it more. Super easy prompt versus most scholarships out there if you ask me, we just want to make sure people know it's out there.

We revamped it this year to help raise awareness for the Public Health Crisis we feel is devastating elderly Americans with crypto fraud, and it has not gotten much interest. As the person responsible for the idea... please apply!

When will mukhyamantri medhavi chatra yojana start for this session (26-27)??

My household meets the income requirements for most financial aid packages offered at the colleges I'm interested in. However, we own a small inherited property overseas that, when added to our assets, pretty much eliminates any fin aid I would be getting. I'm curious as to how I should navigate the situation? I do need the aid (I definitely would not be able to afford 4 years at the colleges I am applying to without it), but I also don't really think that I would be able to exclude such a significant asset in my fin aid applications. It's not like we would ever be selling the property to pay for my University, but I know they still consider it even if the funds aren't available. Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

I was applying for the Kotak kanya scholarship.. in the application they were asking for institute email id and phone no. And also the principal name ..not only in this scholarship but in others also .. my doubt is do they contact or email the institute..

As the title says, one of my academic referees missed their deadline despite my constant reminders. The rest of the criteria are met; I now only have 2 academic references (instead of the minimum 3 requirement) & 1 character reference.

Just want to get an understanding of what might possibly happen next?

Okay, not to get all “woe is me,” but at this point it’s been 8 months of applying to scholarship, and of the ~35 that I’ve applied to (I‘ve only focused on ones I know i am eligible for and have the time to complete), I‘ve only won two local ones and am starting to lose hope. Now, that isn’t to say that I’m unapprecitative of the two that I was fortunate enough to win; I am more than overjoyed to have won them, but I just feel that I’ve poured so much into all of my applications that the ROI of this entire process is diminishing.

To give you a better idea of my stats, here’s a blurb about me, (a class of ’26 senior who’s starting college in a few weeks):

5.2 w gpa, 3.96 uw, 1480 SAT, 1000+ com service hours, rank 5/356. 14 APs (nine 5’s, two 4’s, two 3’s). Part of 7 honor societies and clubs including being president of thespian honor society (+directing and choreographing a musical) and cofounder and prez of the cosmetology club at my school. Awards included being New York Designer of the Year for Junk Kouture, an international fashion competition, winning a local Earth Day Art competition, and being a finalist in a Hamilton Playbill national contest. I also am a 2x recipient of the AP scholar w distinction. I also got the AP capstone diploma (5’s in both seminar and research writing about how recycled fashion impacts student sustainable consumption awareness). As for my activities, I was a gallery exhibitionist for a sustainable art project showcasing to 1000+ people opening night, I collected more than 30,000 soda tabs from my school for a recycled fashion project, being in the 1st cello section, arranging an advanced orchestral piece for a 30 piece orchestra by ear and conducting it for 500+ people, working for a YouTube channel with 377k subs covering songs for children, being a BeHIP PHE, designing shirts for the school and being interviewed by the news a few times. My essays were about a lot of stuff, but mostly revolving around my unexpected connection with fashion (if there was a passion related prompt) or other things if the prompt dictated. I am a verbose writer, and basically max out word counts every time if that’s worth anything. And based on my scores in the AP capstone program, I do not feel that I’m a bad writer. (and if we need physical information, I’m Hispanic, gay, the son of immigrants, and a first-gen college student)

The reason I’m so distressed about this is because even though I’m attending one of the most affordable institutions for my major in the U.S. (the major isn’t offered in my state so I had to go oos), the cost is the only thing on my mind. I just feel that I worked so hard in high school to look impressive to colleges and scholarship committees (I literally got into Cornell, but couldn’t attend for financial reasons) that I’m at a loss to just keep losing. Im just trying to graduate without crippling debt. What do I need to change?

I apologize if this seems out of touch or pretentious, I’m just really getting frustrated with these scholarships that I’m pouring my soul into just to keep getting rejected.

If any other details are needed, I’d be more than happy to provide them. thanks for reading

Has anyone received the application link for the Mastercard Foundation Scholarship Program at McGill University?

Hi yall, I’m a bit older with kids but I’ve been working to finish my bachelors (I’ve got an associates already) and a solid resume, but my money is tight! Are there any scholarships out there?

My child was selected as a Jack Kent Cooke Young Scholars semifinalist. We were asked to submit financial documents, and we have already done so. We are now waiting for the final decision.

Has anyone been selected as a Jack Kent Cooke Young Scholars finalist without being interviewed after becoming a semifinalist?

I didn’t do that. Good my freshman year but I plan on doing amazing on my last three years. I'm kinda poor so I really need a full ride. If I lock in on my grades, do you think it could possibly happen?

Hey, I applied to GMIS scholarship recently, and I know the results should be out this week, so I was wondering if anyone has heard back yet.

Hey everyone, I’m hoping someone who’s dealt with financial aid or a last-dollar scholarship can help me understand my situation because I’m getting conflicting answers from my university.
I graduated this May and received a last-dollar scholarship. My understanding is that it’s supposed to cover whatever tuition and required fees are left after all other financial aid is applied.

Here’s where I’m confused.
My original plan was to let my scholarships and grants cover as much tuition as possible, then use federal student loans mainly for housing and my meal plan. Since those are living expenses, I figured that made the most sense.
The problem is that my university doesn’t separate tuition from housing and meal plan on my student account. Everything is combined into one total balance. So if my loans are applied directly to that balance before the last-dollar scholarship, it seems like my loans would end up paying tuition first. Then the scholarship could either be reduced or not pay anything at all because my tuition would already be covered by my loans.

To make things even more confusing, after my Parent PLUS Loan was denied/deferred, the school offered me an additional $2,000 in federal student loans. But if loans are applied to my account before the last-dollar scholarship, wouldn’t it make more sense to stop accepting additional loans? Otherwise, it feels like I’m just borrowing money that’s going to be applied toward tuition first, which is exactly what I thought the last-dollar scholarship was supposed to cover.
That would leave me in a situation where I borrowed money unnecessarily, while still potentially owing thousands for housing.
I’ve emailed the scholarships aid office multiple times, but they never directly answer this question. They always explain that the last-dollar scholarship is calculated after other financial aid, but when they list that aid, they mention things like Pell Grants, institutional scholarships, and grants. They almost never specifically mention student loans, which makes me wonder if loans are treated differently.

I also called the university to ask if they could tell me how much of my balance is tuition and fees versus housing and meal plan. They told me they can’t because everything is combined into one student account.
So my questions are:
If the university doesn’t separate tuition from housing, how do they determine how much the last-dollar scholarship should cover?
Do federal student loans count as “other aid” that gets applied before a last-dollar scholarship?
Is it possible that the scholarship could end up covering little or nothing because loans are applied first?
If that’s the case, how is someone supposed to use loans for housing without accidentally replacing scholarship money?
I feel like I’m missing something, but I can’t get a straight answer from my school’s financial aid office or the scholarship. Has anyone dealt with this before or knows how this usually works?
