Hi everyone… I’m a senior (18 and female) living in Minnesota. I have a 3.8 GPA, ranked 14 out of 242 seniors, and I’m taking IB classes while being active in 3 school organizations. Also, I’m Asian American. Does anyone have recommendations for scholarships I might qualify for?

I’ve already applied for AAUW, the Wallin Scholarship, and the Asian Pacific Islander Americans scholarship.

Thanks for any advice!

The Junior Breakthrough Challenge is worth looking at! They award scholarships for explaining a STEM topic in a few minutes. It’s a pretty big prize!

What exactly is that? Like a video contest or something?

There’s also the Danish Government Scholarship—full coverage in Denmark for international students!

The University of Southern Denmark offers it with a full tuition fee waiver and a grant to help cover living costs (DKK 3000 monthly before taxes).

Your GPA and extracurriculars sound amazing! You might qualify for the GATES Scholarship. It’s for seniors who are minorities, in the top 10% of their class, and show leadership. The deadline is September 15th, so there’s still time. If you want more ideas for scholarships, let us know!
