Scholarship websites by state and province
Common questions
- Where should I look first for local scholarships?
- Start with the community foundation that serves your county or city. Many foundations in our directory collect their local awards behind one shared application, so a single form can reach many scholarships.
- Does every state have its own page?
- Not yet. Each page here covers a state or province where our directory lists local sources. If yours is missing, search the full directory on our home page by state or province.
- Do these local sites cost money?
- The local foundations and state aid agencies on these pages are labeled Free, which means their scholarships were viewable without paying. Each listing shows its price label.
- How do you rate these sites?
- Each published score covers Matching Power, Scholarship Quality, Ease of Use, and Privacy & Marketing. Our How we rate page explains each area. A score rates the website, not your chances of winning.
- How do I know a scholarship site is legit?
- Each listing links to the group's own website and notes what to watch for. Apply on the sponsor's site, never pay a fee just to apply, and be careful with any site that asks for lots of personal details before it shows you any awards.
