I keep applying for Bold and Niche scholarships every month when a new one opens up. I’m wondering, do they actually count multiple applications, or does it only take one confirmation per person? Can someone apply 100 times, or is that pointless?
These sites aren’t outright scams, but they’re mainly focused on collecting data from new adults rather than awarding scholarships. I’d suggest using a separate Gmail account and a Google Voice phone number when signing up.
They’re not scams, but you’ll have better luck with local scholarships. The competition is smaller, so you’re more likely to win. You can reuse your Bold.org essays for other applications if they’re good!
These sites often want your personal information so they can sell it to marketers. They make money off of your data, and you end up getting junk mail.
