A lot of students think they already know the answer to this question, but the reality is not so black-and-white.

It’s true that the majority of scholarship committees reward applicants with good grades. Still, there are also those that won't even ask for your GPA: instead, they’ll look at your essays, skills, goals, and overall success, not just how your grades look on paper.

Even if you don't do well with tests or homework, you can get many scholarships for college! The key is finding the right ones.

All you need to do is apply for the scholarships you qualify for and wait for the results to come.
