Resource of the Week
One of our favorite (and we’d argue most reliable) sites to find scholarships is CareerOneStop (@Career1stop on Twitter) - which is run by the Department of Labor. Last time we checked their site they had 1718 available awards for those aiming to get a Bachelor’s Degree in the U.S.
Best part? It’s completely FREE!
Plus they make it easy to filter down by:
State where you plan to study
Due date
Award type
Level of study
