The best Scholarship apps!

 


Some Local Scholarship opportunities

I don't know about you, but my social media has been filled with videos of new scholarships to apply to. There is no means of organization with this, which really stresses me out. I downloaded a few apps and determined the pros and cons of each so I could choose which would be the most organized and relevant to high school seniors or people in college. 

Raise Me

When I started my experience with this app, they had me fill out a questionnaire with colleges that I'm applying to and some of my extracurricular activities. They wanted to know what my future profession was and things like that. This process takes a minute to fill out, but it is worth it for sure! They make sure you are applying to scholarships that are for the colleges you are interested in. I thought that this app was more difficult to use, and not a lot of the colleges were open for scholarship applicants yet (which is my fault, not theirs). :)

Mos

I originally started with the app Mos. I saw an ad online for it and figured it would be worth trying! They have a chat center where someone or AI sends you one scholarship at a time. I like this app because it only bothers you with one scholarship at a time and because it sends you notifications to let you know how long you have until the due date. It organizes them by the due dates and if you don't want to apply you can type that you want something else and they will take note of it in their system and give you another one. So far I have applied for over 7 thousand dollars worth of scholarships taking on average 5 minutes per application.

One thing I didn't care for was that they aren't personalized scholarships. They are all luck-based so there is less chance you will get them. Overall the app was easy to use and very organized but I wish there was a way to track local scholarships as well.

The app Raise Me definitely got to know me better but I like the organization of Mos a little better and I was able to apply for things that were open to me! :)

An Intro to me! :)

Hi everyone! My name is Bri, and I am a senior in high school!   This year has been busy already for me and my peers. A big part of this business is scholarships. My school is not the most organized at getting scholarship opportunities out to the students. This inspired me to come on here and share what apps I find helpful for managing the craziness of this new adventure!

A new favorite app!

  Another scholarship app!! Going Merry When opening this app, they had me go through a long process of filling out information. I didn't mind this because it was applying me to scholarships as we went through it. This app automatically applies you for scholarships that don't require essays as soon as they come out. By the time I was done filling out the questions, I had applied to 5 non essay scholarships. There was a clear distinction between categories, and there were also ways to search and add your own scholarships. This app is great for a low-maintenance person. The app basically takes care of everything for you, so you don't have to worry about it. I would find that to be a little more stressful because  I wouldn't be able to remember which ones I applied to. The downside to this scholarship app is that it, too, did not have local scholarship opportunities. I wasn't able to find any apps that included local scholarships so maybe it isn't common for these ...
