Absolutely! To gather enough funds for college, apply for scholarships that require you to write essays and submit other school-related documentation. There are at least two good reasons for these: a) they typically pay more and b) usually there is less competition.

Another great thing about putting in extra work is that you get the chance to stand out from other applicants! Share your story, attract the provider's attention, and make a great impression. This will undoubtedly increase your chances of winning, and that’s what we want!

To get inspired, read students' success stories with ScholarshipOwl! Then, tell us your story, because - wait for it - we started our “Double Promotion” scholarship! What does that mean? When you win a scholarship through our platform and tell us about it, we will double it up to $1000!! Ka-ching!
