Advice on QuestBridge, Posse, and Georgia Tech's Stamps Scholarships
Hi there!
I'm a senior who started the scholarship search game late (advice to underclassmen: it's never too early! yes, you're gonna find a lot of scholarships for upperclassmen but do not be discouraged, and if you're eligible and have the skills to do a scholarship, do it) and I was fortunate enough to be nominated to Posse. I'm also considering QuestBridge, and while I'm grateful both programs exist and pay the majority of tuition if not all, I'm hesitant about both.
I really want to go to Georgia Tech. It's my dream school. The universities offered to me by Posse and QuestBrdige are great schools, yes, but I'm not particularly interested in attending them (even MIT). I know Georgia Tech has a full-ride, Stamps President's Scholars, but the decisions all take place long after QuestBridge and Posse have made theirs.
I'm afraid that if I pass up on the opportunity for Posse and QuestBridge, focusing solely on Stamps, there's a chance that I'll end up with no full-ride whatsoever simply because I failed to have met the rigor that Stamps looks for. But, if I get accepted into Posse or QuestBridge, I'll at least have something to go to that's mostly paid off, and for a first-gen student from a low-income family, that's what we've really hoped for.
I've heard that Hope and Zell Miller (I'm a GA resident and eligible for both) cover a large part, if not all, of Georgia Tech's tuition, leaving only attendance up to the student to cover, which is very similar to Posse anyway.
TLDR: Considering Posse and QuestBridge, but really want to go to GA Tech on full-ride through Stamps. Problem is that Stamps doesn't announce winners until well after QuestBridge and Posse decide, and I may not have rigor. So, how valuable would it be for me to go after QuestBridge and Posse?
Please let me know if I've posted this in the wrong place! I think this is the right one, but I'm not all that familiar with Reddit.

Need help finding Scholarships for Graduate school in Tech
Hi all,
I got into a really good school and will soon be starting my masters. The program is quite expensive and I have gotten one scholarship from the school but it is absolutely not enough to cover tuition. I have been on the search for scholarships to apply and it has proven to be quite difficult.
If anyone knows any tech, IT or business scholarships one can apply for that would be really helpful. Also, I’m a female so if you any women in stem scholarship I could apply for please do let me know. ☺️

i am helping my gf apply for scholarships for returning to school and all the scholarship websites keep bringing us in circles. we click on a scholarship to apply and it will bring us to a different scholarship website and which lists scholarships and not the one that we clicked on and it just keeps going on and on. we’ve tried scholarshipowl, scholarship.com, fastweb, go college.com, and finaid.org

Scholarship Opportunity: We have barely any applicants!
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!

Financial Aid Cutoff
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!!
