Free Money Is Worth the Effort
The best way to fund education is to find money that doesn’t have to be paid back. Scholarships are a key part of paying for college wisely, and one of the best types of free money. Get started now by entering a drawing for a chance to win one of five INvestEd $1,000 scholarships. Then read more below to learn about searching for scholarships, as well as what to do if you encounter common roadblocks, such as having trouble getting started or knowing whether a particular website for searching scholarships is legit. Remember, we’re here to help!
Scholarship Search
Search thousands of scholarships, grants, and other aid award opportunities.
- Look through the entire list of scholarships below, arranged in order of closest deadline
- Narrow your list with “Search by keyword”
- Use the filters to see only awards for certain award types, locations, level of study, and more
Helpful Tips
We suggest organizing your search into three categories:
- Local and Community: Your high school counselor is a great resource for these.
- Financial Aid Office: Check the website for each of your top college choices.
- National Search Sites: Use the tool above or search the web to find a site you like. Spend time each week reviewing options and applying for scholarships. Also, never provide information you aren’t comfortable sharing like financials and especially your social security number.

Something for Everyone!
Not all scholarships go to students with the highest GPA. They may be based on your financial circumstances (need based), or on things like academic, athletic or artistic ability (merit based). Some scholarships are even associated with volunteering in your community, while others could be contest and sweepstakes entries.
