Scholarships with December Deadlines
December marks the end of the fall and first semester. For college students, It’s a great time to apply for scholarships for the spring semester or even for the next few years of study. For high school seniors, those who applied for early admissions will be notified around this time of their status. It’s the perfect time to start applying for scholarships to finance your university or college education. For high school seniors who haven’t applied for early decisions, now is when they’ll start finalizing regular decision applications, most of which are due in January or February. While choosing and applying to schools, you should also browse and apply for scholarships.
Scholaroo has gathered more than 100 scholarships for December and made it easier to find exactly what you need. There are scholarships for high school seniors, incoming freshmen, current college students as well as graduate students. Apply to the ones you like as soon as possible – you don’t want to miss the December deadline!
Tips for applying for December Scholarships
- Plan well ahead of time when doing your application. Unless it’s a super-simple scholarship that only requires filling in an application form, most applications take a bit more time and require planning. You don’t want to rush any part of the process, it’ll show in your responses.
- Don’t submit your first draft for an essay or short answers. Take time to write at least two drafts, then review and edit. It’s a good idea to have someone else review your writing so they can provide a fresh perspective.
- Keep all necessary documents in an easily accessible spot, such as a desktop shortcut. Create a folder with all the necessary documents such as your grade transcripts, Student Aid Report form FAFSA, proof of admission or enrolment, and any other documents such as a photograph of yourself.
