Scholarships are one of the main ways struggling college students pay for their tuition. There is a scholarship for nearly everyone, and many rarely get applications or give out all of the money they have available. Minority scholarships account for a large portion of all free funds given to students that display academic or athletic ability but lack the money to pay for tuition.
One of the best ways to get scholarships if you are a minority, is to ask school counselors which ones are available. Many guidance counselors have the ability to search through thousands of available offers and give you a list of ones to apply for. The internet is also an excellent resource, but beware of ones that ask for money to give you a chance at getting money. These are considered scams and will not help you.
If you are of mixed race, then you can claim yourself as your minority race. For example, if a student is mixed with African American and Caucasian, they can write on the application that they are African American. The same thing applies for all minorities and allows them to get scholarships that are set aside for those groups.
The key to actually winning the scholarship is a good essay as well as eligibility. There are many different factors that play into who is awarded the funds. If your winning is based upon how well you answer the questions, then do your best to stand out and write honestly. If they are based on academics, then you should be sure your GPA is up to par. If you are an athlete for your school, then be sure to gather recommendations and other information the scholarship fund asks for.
Getting a scholarship is likely one of the easiest things. You simply have to get out there and search for the ones that are available to you. Many of them go months without awarding funds, and you could be the one person that gets the $20,000 or a free ride to the university of your choice.
