Which scholarship sites can actually be trusted?

General Scholarships Discussion Forum

I was reading some discussions earlier and came across claims that Bold.org and Scholarship360 might be collecting and selling user data. I’m not sure how true that is, but I wanted to ask for your insight. Are there better places to look for scholarships that don’t spam you with emails or feel like data farms?

I’m wondering the same thing. It feels like Scholarship360 and Bold.org are just ways to collect info and flood your inbox. Those ‘one-click, no-essay’ scholarships seem suspicious—do people actually win them, or is it just a way to get our data?

I’ve heard that some people have won from Scholarship360, but not as much about Bold.org. I wouldn’t be surprised if they do give out some money, but it probably has super low chances while still collecting user data.

I asked about Bold.org in another thread, and people said some of their scholarships are real, but a lot of winners just copy and paste essays to keep stacking awards. I use Scholarship360 because my college recommended it, but I’m still skeptical.

There are a ton of scholarship websites. What level of school are you in? If you’re looking for good ones, I have a list of recommended sites here: [LINK REMOVED].

Thanks! I’m in a transition phase, kind of in between levels, just waiting for everything to line up.
