FAQ

What is a scholarship portal?

You'll typically need to create an account to apply for a scholarship, and submit your application through their website—this is called a scholarship application portal. Not all scholarship providers use portals—some will just require that the application materials be sent via email. Tip: it's a good idea to write down your usernames and passwords to keep track of all your applications!

When do I apply for college scholarships?

Each school has their own timeline — so check yours — but in general, most schools will have you apply in the winter or spring for the following year.

Is applying for college scholarships worth it?

Yes! Colleges provide over $60 billion in financial aid to students each year, nearly 10 times what traditional scholarships offer. That means you’re 10 times as likely to get that scholarship.

How do I submit a transcript for a scholarship application?

To have a copy of your official transcript submitted for a scholarship application, you'll need to contact the registrar's office and ask that they send your transcript to the address you provide. Tip: Make sure to do this far in advance!

For a college transcript, you can also contact the registrar's office, or, you can submit a request through your college portal. FYI: Colleges often charge a fee for this.
