The Interstellar Research Group Scholarship for Undergraduate Students

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.

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.

If you haven't heard back within a few weeks, reach out to the scholarship organization! Some scholarship organizations email all the applicants to let them know if they were selected or not, while others only contact the winners—it usually depends on the number of applicants. It never hurts to follow up.

To prioritize your scholarship applications, think about which scholarships you have the best chance of getting (the most specific ones, with more than one winner), the ones due the soonest, and the ones that are awarding the most money.

Tip: We recommend you make a schedule for yourself to follow to stay organized and on track throughout the scholarship application season! You can always ask a Mos advisor for help.
