These deadlines occur throughout the year, so you can find one for any time of the year. Keep in mind, however, that some scholarship deadlines may fall months, even a year, before the start of the academic year for which you\u2019re seeking a scholarship.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you\u2019re a high school freshman looking to get a scholarship for your freshman year of college, you should start the search process early. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when you apply, be sure to meet the deadline for each specific scholarship.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to apply for scholarships<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each scholarship has its own unique requirements and qualifications. The first step to successfully applying for any scholarship is reading the details carefully. Make sure that you fit the eligibility criteria and fill out the application completely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay attention to what\u2019s required of you. For example, if you need a recommendation letter, you should request one way ahead of time so you have one by the time you apply. If an essay is required, start writing weeks before the deadline so you have an essay you can be proud of before the due date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aim to send in your application at least a few days <em>before<\/em> the deadline. This way, you avoid the risk of getting sidelined by technical glitches, tests, heavy homework load, or illness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And don\u2019t forget to submit everything required of you as part of your application.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more tips on how to apply for scholarships, check <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tun.com\/blog\/how-to-apply-for-scholarships\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to find scholarships<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Colleges may offer either <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tun.com\/blog\/merit-scholarships\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">merit-based<\/a> or need-based scholarships or both. You can usually find most of the information by clicking on their \u201cfinancial aid\u201d page. If you have questions, don\u2019t hesitate to email or call their financial aid office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also outside scholarships \u2014 like the ones listed above \u2014 that are sponsored by companies, organizations, foundations, and individuals as a way to give back to their communities. The awards can cover your entire tuition or a portion of it. Some scholarships have a GPA requirement or are based on financial need, while others embrace a cause or emphasize community involvement, athletic achievement, diversity, passion, and much more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how do you find outside scholarships like these?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start your search with TUN\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tun.com\/scholarships\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Scholarship Search Engine<\/a> to find scholarships that are ideal for you. You can search by grade level, GPA, major, state of residency, scholarship name, or deadline month. You can also browse through our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tun.com\/blog\/category\/scholarships\/\">featured scholarships<\/a>, some available only through TUN, and a collated list of scholarships for specific groups of students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also check with your high school to see if they have a list of scholarships. Your guidance counselor may have the list or point you to someone who can help you. They may also be in the know about scholarships sponsored by local stores or organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your family is yet another good source of scholarships. Your parents or guardians may work for a company that offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tun.com\/blog\/companies-that-offer-scholarships-for-employees-dependents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">scholarships for dependents of employees<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you work while in high school, you may also qualify for an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tun.com\/blog\/companies-that-offer-employee-scholarships\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">employee scholarship<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more tips on how to find scholarships, check <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tun.com\/blog\/how-to-find-and-win-scholarships\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to get scholarships<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Scholarships, especially ones with high awards, can be very competitive. In some cases, you may be competing against thousands of students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how do you increase your chances of winning a scholarship?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, make sure you meet the eligibility criteria and submit all the information required of you, including recommendation letters, transcripts, and resume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, be sure to distinguish yourself from the other applicants. Your essay, if that\u2019s required, is what makes you unique so let your personality and creativity shine through. How do you do that?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can achieve that \u201cby <em>showing instead of telling<\/em>,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tun.com\/blog\/how-to-get-scholarships-interview-with-sarah-chomette-eadviser-college-advising-corps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to Sarah Chomette<\/a>, an eAdviser with the College Advising Corps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen answering a creative prompt or inputting your personal statement, it\u2019s important to provide the reader with a story instead of just telling them about your goals and accomplishments,\u201d she said. \u201cThat can be kind of boring and it makes you get lost in the crowd.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A successful essay must include four major components, Chomette explained. First, make sure that you convey your personal values. Second, be open and honest to help the reader feel a connection with you. Third, let the reader know why your story is important. Fourth, your writing must show that you put time and effort into it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a scholarship asks for a video or infographic instead of an essay, the same principle applies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To summarize, always put thought and effort into your whole application and submit your best work. There should be no obvious errors or typos. And if you need to submit a recommendation letter, reflect on who knows you best and whose recommendation would help your application the most.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Are scholarships taxable?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, scholarships are not taxable. However, it can depend on how the scholarship money is being used, according to federal tax laws.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scholarship dollars are tax-exempt if they are going to a degree-seeking candidate and are being used to pay for tuition and fees required for enrollment, books, supplies, and other educational expenses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scholarships are not tax-exempt, and you must report them as \u201cgross income,\u201d if they are used to pay for room and board, travel, or optional equipment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have additional questions, you should reach out to the financial aid office of your prospective or current college or university.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div
