Juniors: open your eyes to scholarship opportunities
February 5th, 2018Shrop Ed families know that despite urban myths, most scholarship assistance is offered by colleges directly. Still, there are “external” scholarships for which students can apply, and their review processes are often highly competitive.
Most scholarship applications will be due in the fall, but there is one major scholarship deadline for juniors to pay attention to this spring: that of the Bryan Cameron Education Foundation. The Foundation limits the number of applications it will review for its Cameron Impact Scholarship and for that reason, it’s best to jump on the application well ahead of the posted May deadline. The competition for these awards is daunting, as you’ll see when you read the statistics, yet we’re thrilled to have had two seniors in the Finalist round this year, one of whom was named a Cameron Impact Scholar! Being a top student AND changing the world are important criteria for the award, and we’re thrilled to see intentional and excellent accomplishments recognized.
As we receive word of other major scholarship competitions, we’ll share information with the Shrop Ed community. In the meantime, we urge all juniors interested in scholarship funding to set up an account on Cappex, which has a scholarship search engine that will match your profile to opportunities.
