Scholarships.com recently spoke with scholarship providers of "lower competition" scholarships to survey how many applicants they receive. They learned that many of these programs only receive about 20-40 applicants, yet they award multiple scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $5,000.
This highlights the importance for students to focus on scholarships with lower dollar amounts, local scholarships, and those aligned with their intended major and/or unique characteristics.
Many scholarships open their application periods at the start of the year, with deadlines typically in late winter or early spring. Applying early not only gives students a competitive edge but also ensures they don't miss a scholarship deadline. We strongly encourage students to utilize their accomplishments from the fall semester to showcase their most recent achievements.
