My tuition is about 95% covered, with only a small amount left for my parents to pay. Are there any scholarships I can apply for that would provide “free” money directly to me? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Although very rare, some scholarships can provide funds directly to you, which you can use for various expenses. They include:
- Private scholarships: Many private organizations offer scholarships that can be used for any educational expenses, including personal costs. Websites like Scholarships.com, Fastweb, and College Board are excellent places to start your search.
- Community and Local Scholarships: Check with local businesses, community organizations, and foundations. These scholarships often have fewer applicants, increasing your chances of winning.
- Merit-Based Scholarships: Some scholarships are awarded based on academic, athletic, or artistic achievements. These can sometimes be used for any expenses, not just tuition.
