ALT Scholarship Common Questions

ALT What kinds of scholarships are available?​Some scholarships for college are merit-based. You earn them by meeting or exceeding certain standards set by the scholarship-giver. Merit scholarships might be awarded based on academic achievement or on a combination of academics and a special talent, trait, or interest. Other scholarships are based on financial need.​

ALT When do I apply for scholarships?​ That depends on each scholarship’s deadline. Some deadlines are as early as a year before college starts, so if you’re in high school now, you should be researching and applying for scholarships during the summer between your junior and senior years. But if you’ve missed that window, don’t give up! Look at scholarship information to see which ones you can still apply for now.

ALT How do I apply for scholarships? Each scholarship has its own requirements. The scholarship’s website should give you an idea of who qualifies for the scholarship and how to apply. Make sure you read the application carefully, fill it out completely, and meet the application deadline.​

ALT Q: How do I make changes to my FAFSA form?

ALT A: You can make changes by: Logging in to your StudentAid.gov account. If you change information about a contributor, that contributor must sign your FAFSA form again using their own StudentAid.gov account.
