FAQ: I completed a general application. Is that all I have to do?

No. The next step is to apply for specific scholarships and/or interest-free loans. There are no scholarships awarded from the General Application. To apply for a specific scholarship/interest-free loan, select “opportunities” in the blue bar at the top of the page. Then select “ours” to see the open opportunities. These are the scholarships that you can apply to directly on the website.

If you see an opportunity you would like to apply for, click the orange “apply” button. You will then answer additional questions that are for that opportunity only. Click the orange “submit” button on the bottom of the page when you have completed the application.

Click “opportunities” and “external” for a resource list of regional scholarships that do not use Scholarship Central to collect applications. You can link to the websites of these organizations for more information.
