Frequently asked questions

What is the youngest age to get a scholarship?

This will depend on the organization’s rules. There is no set age limit for scholarships. Check the eligibility criteria to see if you are eligible.

What are the easiest ways to get scholarships?

Applying for as many scholarships as you are eligible for is always a good idea. Focus on more niche or very specific scholarships – such as major-specific ones, to improve your chances of winning. Stay organized and have all your documents ready. Applying early is also important.

What is the lowest grade to get a scholarship?

This will depend on the scholarship sponsors. Some want to reward and recognize academic achievement so it will require a high GPA, but there are plenty of scholarships that either have no GPA requirements or are for students with a low GPA.
