This is great info I guess info we should have looked for months ago. I just didn’t think of youtube as a place to get advice scholarships . Great info
As someone who is from a middle class family, I often find videos like this can be kind of frustrating. They're really helpful for some people, usually in high financial need, but people like me are just stuck in the middle. We aren't poor enough to get financial need scholarships, but don't make enough to pay nearly as much as FASFA expects. I have a high GPA 3.84. 7th in my class rank. I'm involved in sports, clubs, founded a student help group, did theater, and National Honor Society among other things. Despite all of this accomplishment so much merit I have not recieved a single scholarship. Though a ton are still up in the air (especially the local ones) I will likely be denied a lot of them just because of what my family makes. I've worked too hard for this. Had straight a's my whole life...it's so disappointing and discouraging.
Jacqueline Thomas I agree with you and am in the same boat.
Still apply for more scholarships you never know. You can do it.
I am in the same boat!! I want to go out of State for school but I'll probably just get stuck in State. So frustrating!!
hey Jaqueline, I’m in the same situation as you. I wasn’t able to go to my top 2 choices and pulled out from a waitlisted school that I really wanted to go to because I didn’t get any aid. I really feel for you.
Jacqueline Thomas I’m in the exact same boat as you. All I can say is that you gotta keep applying. Quarantine gives us a lot more time to look for scholarships and try to keep in mind that scholarships don’t stop after high school. You got this!

God bless you and your family
thank you, means a lot.
Thanks
Thanks

I really needed your positivity about scholarships today. I received 12,500 from my dream school...but I still have $18,000 left to pay out of pocket. I'm terrified of going into debt, so exterior scholarships are KEY. Thanks for your encouraging message!!
$18,000 is not that much money. And if $18,000 finishes out your schooling. You can do that you can pay that off in 2 years.
No joke, you could pay that off easily 2 years of driving a truck. Truck driving.
My husband out earns what he made as a tri-state area manager of mud oil and gas.
Within 3 years, you can earn $150k. Around 47 of that will go back into your truck.
No joke if you did that for 10 years. I guarantee you. Especially if you had someone that you could partner up with. You can earn at least $200 to 250 a year.
$18,000 is not that much to pay off. Nope
@@MzClementine they probably mean 18k additional for 4 years
Same story. I also was awarded 45 thousand for four years and got a lot of minor scholarships but decided to not go cause it cost over 40 grand for overall expense 😂
@@charsoniriarte8137 what did I do plsss tell me
Great job ! So happy for you, you have a great outlook and great energy! You're going to do so well in life!
I want to encourage those that want to go to college that don’t qualify for need based. I had a 2.8 gpa and a 1650 SAT in 2014. I got 4 different scholarships to pay for school. Even if you don’t get 10k plus, you can continue to apply each year. Make sure you test scores and essays are the absolute best you can do.
Yes this is so true and important!!
If I may ask, how did you get that 1650 sat score.
@@girlfran3375 the scale changed in 2016, so a 1650 now would be phenomenal but not that great in 2014
Tori Van Allen yes a 1650 would be impossible
Did you apply before or during college?
Amazing!!! Good for you Marisa!!
*Stands up...claps!* See, this is the kind of info HS students need to see and understand. Instead of taking out thousands and (sometimes) 6 figures of student loan debt and choking their cashflow right after graduation, grants and scholarships can pave the way to a debt free education. Really wish more students would fill out the FAFSA and spend more time filling out any and all scholarship applications they qualify for...free money for education is worth its weight in gold!
Great vid!

Thank you so much!! I'm glad someone understands where I'm coming from!!
Thank you so much for this video! I'm going to apply for colleges for 2022 as an international, and let me tell you, the American school system is confusing! I have never even written an essay in my life so everything is very new for me. Thanks for the clarification.
I’m so glad this helped you!! Best of luck to you!🤍
Thank you so much. You have been a big help.
CONGRATULATIONS!
You are so welcome!! So happy this helped you!! Best of luck to you!🤩🤩🤩
I loved this video! Can u make a video with you stating the scholarships you actually signed up for
This was such a great video! I posted a video like this to my own channel a while back😊Definitely agree with all of your tips!❤️
Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your wonderful video. I am currently searching for scholarships for my son who wants to become an architect. Very inspirational and I did need to hear that, so thanks again.
Thank you so much! I wish the best of luck to your son, so glad this helped!❤️
Thanks for the great tips and keep grinding 💪🏾
Thanks!! You too!
Thank you for this! And you are so humble about it ! Sadly there are some people will use opportunities such as these to brag but you did not! I love this! ❤️❤️
Aw thank you so much!! 🥺❤️
Watching this at midnight because I'm about to be a SENIOR omg. The only teacher that lowkey liked me was my dual enrollment art teacher, so I basically need to reapply for that community college this year or else I wont have a good letter of rec from anyone 😫😫😫 but her classes are ALL. IN. PERSON.
My weighed GPA by the end of my senior year surpassed a 4.0 (4.26), but I didn't win many scholarships that took extracurriculars or leadership roles into account. I was chosen as a representative for my school at a regional foundation, but that wasn't enough to be considered exceptional because I had zero volunteer experience. For the high schoolers who may be reading my comment-- do extracurriculars because it's not just your grades that scholarship providers look at. If you don't have the time to participate in after-school activities (or you are shy), then focus on writing scholarship essays.
This Video was very informational and helpful. Thank you sm!
I'm barely a Junior and this is very helpful, thank you :)
so glad it helped!! :)
Thank you for the advice. I'm 17 and looking for colleges with a culinary arts program; but I know nothing about scholarships or financial aide really. Your video helped me understand the whole process a bit more. As you suggested, I'm going to apply, apply, apply.
watching this as a freshman lol
It’s never too early to start!! :)
Trust me if i knew i would have started looking into these from middle school
Reddevils123 jeez
@@MarisaRose agreed
Same 😭
Ugghh I am soo stressed about this stuff.. Ill be dual credit and that'll help. I dont think I will qualify for FAFSA other than loans so I basically am starting from nothing.. 😭
I totally understand. All of this new information can be a lot, but you go this for sure!! I wish you the best of luck ☺️
I’m doomed
Why?
Lol
Don't give up, there's always hope! Peace and love to you
No you are not. You will find a way! Gob bless you.
100th like
I’m a Horatio Alger 2020 Scholar! This is really inspiring to me to keep applying to scholarships!
Yay congratulations!!!🤩 and yes keep it up!!
Marisa Rose Thank you and I will!!!
Finding scholarships is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack but they make it sooooo easy for you to be able to apply for student loans. So backwards. There has to be a better way
How is it going
Super useful information, thanks!
Yay I’m so glad!!☺️
So proud of you.
this is awesome I like this video but you're the best youtuber have a great day
Very helpful. Thank you!
What a great job you did with all of your scholarships, best to you in your college career.
Just check your phrases. I think you stated "I did it on a limb". But the phrase is "out on a limb" or and I think this is the one you meant to use "I did it on a whim".
You stated "Speculations" and I believe you meant to say Specification. I wish you the best in all of your endeavors, you seem like a highly motivated and driven young woman, good luck.
I literally just got into high school and I’m watching this
I’m applying to grad school and am looking for information to help me pay for it. I didn’t apply to scholarships for my bachelors degree and paid everything out of pocket because I got discouraged. I’m glad I stumbled upon your video because it had some good tips to keep in mind. Thank you.
Watching this as a Junior man is it scary. Im planning for an art school and though you dont need a degree for my current career path it's a great idea just so you have some support this video really helped and I hope I wont end up on the street and labeled as a "talented street artist" wish me luck! 😄
you got this!! best of luck to you!!🤩
Let me know if you get any scholarships, so I can apply for them too!
I love your pronunciation! Saludos desde Perú! 🇵🇪
Watching this as a undergraduate. I’m trying to get some scholarships and it’s kicking my butt 😂 but I really want to go get my bachelors
Thank u sm for all the tips it helped a lot
Yay!! I'm so glad!!😁
yaaay thank you for you work girl!! (however I don't think the music is necessary, plus its the same we hear in maaaaaaaany videos, so please, drop it like its hot) Best
thanks for the suggestion and thank you for watching!! ❤️
I applied for 100 writing scholarships and earned like 3 total during my entire college career. None of the ones I earned were external. They were either local or based out of my school.
Holy f*ck! It’s that hard to get external scholarships?!
I’ve been applying to scholarships since July of 2020, and have not heard back from a single one. I’m trying my best but I’m not getting anything back. So it seems like a waste of time to keep on applying, but I have no choice but to do it EDIT -i finally got a scholarship
@@heywashington9174 YAAAY CONGRATS FOR GETTING A SCHOLARSHIP
Hey. I recently got admitted to study at the University of Regina to study computer science. I currently searching for external Scholarships. Please can you help me with them. Like list or link them here. Please!
Where do you apply? I'm planning to transfer to csu or uc from community college, but don't think I could afford it.
Wow, Thank you! I sped it up a bit , but I got some ok chuncks.
Marisa, you did a great job with this informational video!
What organization could we look up to apply for the scholarships?
Loved this video
Thank you so much!!❤️
Am a high school student my GPA for 10th grade Q2 is 3.2
Watching as a middle schooler: Hmmm *yes* this outta work for my future
I applied for 100 scholarships for university. It’s on a 4.0 scale & I finished in a year half & 3.88 gpa !
yes please tell us
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hellloooo girl pls tell us
Come on now plz do tell
The world is a different place since I graduated from college in 2005. My son is ten and we're starting the scholarship hunt now :0
yes I agree!!
good vid. thanks for the info
Nice marisa
This video Is very helpful to me, I'm at the verge of losing my eligibility for FAFSA and was told that for spring semester I won't be receiving FAFSA, so Currently I'm looking into applying for scholarships it will be my first time, this is good advice. Thank you so much for the video and hope to hear more tips on applying for scholarship and other college resources.
thank you so much!! I'm so glad it helped you out!
ugh same it sucks I had to transfer back to community college smh
Have you gotten any? And from what site
I need to apply for scholarships for next year. Helpful video
Where do you find good legit scholarships?
Thankssss!!!
i have a question that you may or may not see, hopefully you do!!! When you write you're biggest and "main" essay that's sent out to scholarships/colleges, is it a 3-paragraph kind of essay? Or do you go all in and make it 5 paragraphs? Also what would you make each paragraphs main topic about?
I believe mine was 3 larger paragraphs! In the essay I basically just highlighted my high school activities, volunteer experience/projects I did, why I chose my college, major/career goals, and then I always closed my essays with something positive/inspirational that I live by!
I work so hard but no matter what my income can't get me through college, life is really hard, Scholarships here is also limited. I literally just need $12000 to cover up my whole tuition. It's amazing there.
What percentage of scholarships should go to people who do not live in the U.S.?
Hi rose the video is just wonderful im also hoping to get a schorlaship
I was accepted into TTU and i want to apply for tons of scholarships but i don't know where to go or search to find some scholarships offers??
You are so pretty ❤️❤️❤️! Ok well I’m going to school for computer science . I start March 1st
thank you!! good luck to you!🤩
I really need your help I'm 52 poor but even with FAFSA I still got to pay out of pocket
Wow ur amazing thank soo much
What were the websites to search for scholarships? Or any other ones that would be useful for a 2020 graduate??
Wow I'm in the same boat as you! I am also a Horatio Alger scholar, what is your recipient year? I'm a 2019 scholar :) nice to meet another person in the HAA family !
That’s crazy!! I’m 2019 as well!! So glad you commented!!🥰
I have a 4.0 and I’m broke. I’m not eligible for any in house scholarships at my school. Can you put extra scholarship money towards living expenses?
Yeah, typically if your tuition is less than the money you get from scholarships, the school will hand you the remainder of the money you earn each semester/year. My friend gets 6000 dollars per semester because he has accumulated so many scholarships and went to an in-state school.
So In Canada, the equivalent would be like 10k no? If you compare the prices for school in the US and Canada....
I’m still confused lol every time I sign up for a scholarship it’s makes me sign up for another website. Idk what websites to go to.
Thank you for the video. 😊 I have a question about the letter of recommendation. Do I ask them to send me a copy of the letter or do they send it?
If you ask them to make you a letter of recommendation they normally give you the letter and then you would make copies of each letter to put with your application for each scholarship you’re applying for!
Is there a way to earn scholarships during middle school for college?
Only here Bc I have a 22 on the act as of rn and a 3.7 gpa lookin to start somewhere
Do you think if EFC is about $7000 can someone apply for need based scholarships? Tuitions are way more than $7000!
Is it late that i didn’t start searching for scholarships yet ( I’m a senior)? All my friends are making progress except for me. Also am i the only one here that doesn’t really know what major they’ll apply to?
No you are not late at all! Now is a great time to start! And do not feel like you have to pick a major right away for sure! Most college freshmen change their major 2 or 3 times before finding the right fit ❤️
Me too
Where's do you find all the national scholarships?
Kent State? Ohio!!!! Are u are Ohian or just going to school in OH? Thank you for your advice, this will deff help my little sister.^^
Yes!! I am not an Ohioan but I do love it here! And aw yay I’m so glad!!
Well welcome to the BEST STATE IN THE LAND LOL. While I was born in OH i was raised in GA b4 going back for college. Great memories. Enjoy your awesome journey!!!
Joseph Butso thank you so much I really appreciate that!!
In how many colleges we should apply for scholarships Or we just need to apply in 1 college?
so my school is offering me $41,000 which cuts my cost down to $13,000 per year and I am terrified because my family is not showing any sign of wanting to pay.they said community but the community college does not have my major. i am trying to apply for last minute scholarships (it being late May and all) and i am trying to consider whether or not student loans are worth it and where to look. if anyone can please help me that would be great bc i am having breakdowns from the panic and worry my family is causing me.
Just go to community college the first two years (get your basic general classes done) then transfer to the school offering you money. You save while in community college and you minimize debt. Also apply to fafsa. Anything helps. Good luck!
Great info bout you talk sooo fast!! :)
Hello Marisa,
I am international student and I came to the U.S.A. 4 mounths ago and I want to get scholarship for college and I have good sport success and normal gpa but I haven't sat or act scores is it important to show sat or act scores for scholarship?
I got a coupon code scholarship. I have no idea what it means and how to use it. It just gave me a code and said enjoy scholarship. Im so confused... Anyone got a clue?
I’m honestly not sure, I would just be very careful to make sure that it’s not a spam!!
Thank you!
Even tho I'm young to get a scholarship, I like hearing tips about "How to get a scholarship, tips and tricks."
I don't know why tho.
I know this is late but did you need good grades in grade school??
when do you start applying for scholarships? My daughter will be a senior next year
Thank you so much. Who do you recommend getting a recommendation letter from if you’re not a straight A student and haven’t really befriended any professors or teachers? I’m 22 with an associates degree but Im hoping I can still get some scholarships.
For a lot of the online scholarships you normally do not need recommendation letters! But I would say since you are 22 you could get a letter about your character and work ethic from an employer that you have a good relationship with or a community member that you’re close with as well! I wish you the best of luck and happy holidays! ❤️
Studying online in a out of state institution. Never did any volunteering since I had to work part time ever since I had the age to do it. I really don’t see myself winning any of these scholarships. I wouldn’t know what to write on my essays.
You just described your essay content. :) Worked therefore your volunteer time was limited to none.
Literally the only thing I have going for me is that I’m kinda poor, not even in the middle class. My gpa was average like 3.0, my SAT score was dog water, I didn’t do a whole lot of extracurricular or take advanced classes. Abhorrently average, I am. I guess we’ll see what happens.
would you publish a copy of these documents just to follow a real example, things sometime ate gloomy through searching, thanks in advance
Yayyyyy!!!
🤩🤩
Hi thanks for the video and shared experiences, just to find out, what is the requirements for an international student to get scholarships?
Im confused on how scholarships really work, like im about to be a freshman in August, would i be able to apply for scholarships this year for example applying to online scholarships? Also if i did and i got the scholarship where would it go sense im not in college yet?
Some people in the comment section say they applied to 100 scholarships. I mean, how do you apply them at once? Or you just apply one by one?? This is new to me, please someone explain
So to apply for a scholarship...you just literally have to search up opportunities and than apply????? Than just wait, right???! That seems so awefully easy..would i have look for a scholarship for a college i want to go to or it can be from any universities? Or programs?
I'm looking at scholarships now and they scare me and I honestly feel and think to myself-oh I won't bother with that because I won't get it. Thank you for pushing the whole apply to everything anyway because you never know.
does anyone know where to go to apply to scholarships, I just don’t which websites are legitimate and which are bs
The illegitimate ones are the ones that you don't submit anything and enter a sweepstakes where there is a random winner.
What sites could you use for scholarships?
How long do these scholarship applications essays have to be?
Should I apply to more scholarships that don't require an essay? Or do should I focus on essay based scholarships for a better chance?
I say apply to everything that you can!!
I have nothing to say about this, but I recognise that font
*I see you, 'homemade apple.'*
Watching this as a middle schooler
Right now I'm a freshman in high school. I was wondering if I could apply to scholorships right now, especially right now that I have so much time on my hands. I'm just thinking the earlier I get money the less stress when I get there.
Yes you can always apply for scholarships, just make sure you're eligible. There are so many scholarships available for hs freshmen. And keep applying throughout hs too. I wish I had done that.
