6 steps to scholarships colleges don't want you knowing

Leverage Local and Community Resources

Many local organizations, businesses, and community groups offer scholarships that might not be widely advertised. These opportunities often have fewer applicants, increasing your chances of winning. Visit websites of local foundations, civic groups, and libraries to browse options and discover scholarships that align with your background and interests. Additionally, your high school guidance counselor can be an invaluable resource in identifying these local opportunities.
