▽ Applying for college scholarships to pay for your education doesn’t have to be a daunting task. In this video, I give you my top five tips to get college scholarships. These steps helped me win over $50,000 in scholarship money and graduate debt free! This video is for upcoming high school graduates AND current college students to help them get free money for college.
These steps hopefully will help you reduce or eliminate taking out student loans.
1.) Attend community college- Going to community college will greatly reduce your financial costs for college. The majority of community colleges offer tons of scholarships and grants for their students. Attending community college significantly helped me get my full-ride scholarship to the University of Maryland because I was able to take on leadership positions while participating in extracurricular activities.
2.) Write a winning scholarship essay- The scholarship essay is your best opportunity to show the scholarship committee why you are deserving to receive the scholarship. The scholarship judges want to hear what you are passionate about and what you hope to do in the future. You can be creative, funny or insightful. Make sure someone proofreads it before submitting.
3.) Join honor societies and take honors/advanced placement courses- Scholarship judges want to see that you pushed yourself academically in high school and college. You don’t need straight-A’s to get scholarships but you do need to take a few high-level classes. In addition to AP and honors classes, join a few honor societies that your school participates in.
4.) Get great recommendation letters- Most competitive scholarships require you to submit one or two recommendation letters. Ask teachers and counselors who you developed a close relationship with to write your recommendation letter. The letter should add something new that your resume and transcript does not tell. A good recommendation letter speaks to your academic and social maturity, character and personality.
5.) Apply for small scholarships- Scholarships that are only $500-2,000 are still definitely worth applying to. A lot of times these scholarships go unclaimed because no one applies to them. Many of these less competitive scholarships are advertised on social media. Try typing in #JanuaryScholarships in Twitter or Pinterest and see all the results that come up. I post different scholarships to my Pinterest board six times a day / scholarships .
Bonus tip! Apply to contests- Contests are usually quicker and easier to apply for than scholarships. These are usually not renewable but can help you get things like a new computer or books.

Jasmine Grewal Thanks so much!!
Contests. Never looked at them seriously before. Now I will.
Did you know there are college scholarships for students who are support staff for athletic teams?
You don't have to be the star quarterback or point guard.
There is money and scholarships for manager, videographers, statisticians, student assistant coaches, and social media assistants.
School after school from NCAA to NAIA to NJCAA are relying on students, right now, just like you to deliver their athletic programs and serve in key leadership roles…. And… They scholarship them to do it.
That's so awesome! I'm going to include this info in a future blog post.
I did 4 out of 5 of these tips and got a scholarship last year, awesome tech college, put my foot into my essay, applied for lots of little scholarships, and had awesome recommendations from past teachers. And it works!
Thank you Amber! I'm happy these tips worked for you!! =)

Those are really great tips. I did my associate from community college too but it was a decade ago but appreciate your scholarship tips, i am going to share this with my brother who is about to go to university & best wishes for your success.
Aww thank you! I hope your brother finds it helpful!!
This comment section is so positive. I sometimes wonder if these are bots, but most likely not.
This is extremely concise, well spoken, and helpful. Thank you
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your nice comment.
I love love love your intro! This is an amazing video, there should be more videos out there like this than can inform high school graduates on their options and resources other than loans. I actually I had paid better attention to what was needed and took it seriously.
Thanks so much! I hope it can help young people and I'm making more content that's related to this topic too.
Amazing video. I graduated from college in 2013 with five scholarships and I basically got the chance to attend school for free. I wish more young people would understand the importance of scholarships. Thanks for sharing these tips.
Thank you so much Dashay. I really appreciate you watching my video!
Hi can you please help me out i'm entering senior year next year i want to ask you some questions please?.
Wow! This helped SO much!!! I've been told by my school to go to a 4 year but I knew from the people I talked too and my parents that that's not the greatest idea. So my plan is I'm going to a community college. Not just for it to be cheaper, start out with a less stressful college, and to do different fun things there but also a small part of me thought that maybe they'd offer scholarships but wow! You secured that thought! It defiantly makes me feel happier about my decision to go with community college. Also, I liked your personal experiences with writing essay's for different scholarships because you talked about being an elf and so was I! You helped a lot and I truly appreciate it. I'm trying to research if it's possibly to live, go to school, and participate in volunteering/extracurricular activities without having loans or paying.
Hi Katie I'm so happy my video helped you. I hate that schools are pushing students to only consider four year colleges. Going to community college is literally the best decision I ever made. I also didn't feel forced to pick a major. It's a great way to get your prerequisites out of the way. I also encourage taking summer/winter session classes if you can. And what I liked about going to community college is that there are so many people from different backgrounds in your classes. Not just 18-21 year-olds. This taught me a lot. You also get to know your instructors more because the classes are small! Let me know if you need any help at all. I post private scholarships that you can apply for on my Pinterest page www.pinterest.com/girlwithdrive/scholarships/
THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING! Thank you soooo much for these really AWESOME tips ! I'm a high school student from Tunisia and I will follow your tips to get a full scholarship for university in 2021. I'm a new subscriber and I really encourage you to do more videos about this subject .Waiting for next videos .Keep going .
THANK YOU so much!! I completely believe in you! Good luck! You are so right. I really do need to make more videos on this subject. What would you like to see?
Great unique tips. My favorite was go to community college. But the most relevant tip was to research and tailor scholarship essays to the scholarships....also having templates was really good advice too. All I all, very good video.
So happy you found the video helpful!! Thank you so much for watching.
Never taught of resuming school back since I lost my parents in a car accident and staying with my aunt was so bad because she couldn’t afford my school fee till I was recommended to Hacker Douglas.
Sorry for your loss
So it's more on leadership skills then straight A's
I would say leadership skills and really challenging yourself. Taking honors classes, AP/IB classes, etc.
You're so organized, I love it. Thank you so much for this video, it means a lot from someone who is transferring from a JC.
This was so very helpful!! THANK YOU!!❤️
Aww thank you so much for watching!
How did you get scholarships for community college to get full ride?
Hi Leslie! In my sophomore year at community college, I applied for an academic transfer scholarship that covered my tuition to the university that I transferred to. Most community colleges have transfer agreements with surrounding 4-year colleges and several offer scholarships to eligible students.
I did early college at a community college and it gave me so much wiggle room once I went to my university.
That’s great to hear!
Thank you so knuth for making this video so much useful information, I am a senior in high school and I truly appreciate your advice
Yay I'm so glad!
@@GirlwithDrive I follow you on pinterest and I didn't recieve the list of scholarship resources
Hi Ritza you have to download it here www.subscribepage.com/girlwithdrive-ultimatescholarshipchecklist. On my Pinterest you'll see a board that says scholarships. On that board you'll see a bunch of different scholarships like November Scholarships, February Scholarships, etc.
I just discovered your channel today. You definitely are starting out strong keep it up! Is there anyway you can help me on a personal level with this I am a senior in high school. Thanks koz BTW Go Maryland
What community college you go to? And did you transfer to a four year university starting as a junior?
Hey I went to Prince George’s Community College and yes I transferred as a junior.
Girl with Drive thanks so much and one more question, how is it like for housing at pgcc? And also will you have the associate degree even if your are continuing at a four year college?
Sorry for the too much questions lol

I feel awful. I’m a graduate of highschool. And want to get a scholarship to continue my education in japan. No one believes in me. I don’t know what to do.
Awesome tips. Scholarships open up so many doors and can be so helpful when in college.
Thanks Sarah!
Thank you so much! I need help with finding free money for my GrandStardaughter to attend college particularly Moore College of Art in Fall 2020.

CAN I HAVE THE LINK PLEASE I NEED IT BECAUSE I AM HAVE DIFFICULT TO PAY MY SCHOOL FEES . PLIZ HELP ME
thank you for sharing this !!
You’re welcomed! Thanks so much for watching
can any of these tips work for international students?
Definitely. Going to a smaller local college has a lot of opportunities and definitely apply for scholarships that are smaller. They really add up and a lot of students don't apply for them.
Yasser this is so much help
Fantastic! So happy this helped you.
My marks are 51% IN UG AND in Masters 61% will i get Doctoral Scholarship and how to try for it and get it with low GPA at undergraduation.The GPA is my main concern.Can u guide me How to look for with low GPA
Usually scholarships will make you write some sort of essay, personal statement or something along those lines. That is the time for you to explain why is your GPA low, what caused it, challenges you faced, and how did you overcame those challenges. It is kind of a way to show that I have low GPA but it could have been lower or it could have been that I never received the degree; however, I didn't give up and received the degree. Pretty much you talk about your struggle!
Hopefully that helps!
Thanks for this angle of Approach Mam.I am from India & wanna try for countries like Netherlands Poland for Ph.d. Do have any Guidance on the Specific Country.
@AK Ton I live and work from United States, but I believe process will most likely be same. Any scholarship or university you apply to will look for someone who have a balance approach to what individual want to do with the research or whatever they are doing, cause and what may the result be. How will the result help the individual and the community immediate or broad. In any case before submitting any proposals or any other kind of written or prototypes they may require, make sure your it is well organized and reviewed by professional advisor or professor. Also if you can, find someone who have done similar PhD program that you are looking forward to do so they can mentor or advise you regular bases. Hopefully that helps! 😊
Check our RUclips Channel 😊✌🏼
So Mam i want to do Ph.d in Thelogical Studies do u know anything in USA where Ph.d is paid position or completely free.Kindly share urmail id to guide me further
AK Ton personally I don’t know any programs that offer that kind of a position, but I will look around see if I can find anything. But feel free to email me if you have any questions or concerns: contact@tapop.org
