Can I apply for a scholarship long before the application period officially starts? I’m wondering if this is allowed or if it could increase my chances of getting accepted.
It depends on the specific scholarship. Some might let you prepare ahead if the questions or criteria are consistent each year. Check their website or email them directly to find out. Starting early is always helpful because it gives you more time to put together a strong application.

Hi, I’m a freshman here. Does anyone know of scholarships I can apply for? FAFSA didn’t give me much, and I’m living on my own since my parents passed. I have a 3.6 GPA, and I’m trying to figure out how to get a full ride or any support to help with rent and other expenses. Any advice would mean a lot.
