Updated: Dec 20, 2022


Did you know that November is National Scholarship Month? As of Spring 2022, almost 16 million students are enrolled in college. According to research.com, only 25% of students receive college scholarships annually. However, over 1 million types of scholarships are available to undergraduate and graduate students. Either due to the lack of resources or information, students are not applying for scholarships and instead financing the cost of school through student loans or out of pocket.


The average cost of college tuition is at an all-time high of almost $36,000 per year, which makes it imperative to apply for scholarships earlier than before. Here are some of the top scholarship search tools to utilize with your children.
