Is there anything for a veteran on SSI pursuing a master’s degree in hopes of getting a degree to get off SSI, and return to work?
Hi Jacqueline. I am currently working on my scholarship directory and will have a whole list for military personnel and veterans. I am hoping to launch it by the beginning of May. However, in the meantime, here is one scholarship I know about for veterans (https://www.hillandponton.com/veterans-scholarship/) – the deadline is May 1. Here is another list you can look at for scholarships – https://www.unigo.com/scholarships/by-type/government-scholarships Good luck!
I am wondering if you came across any scholarships for students who would like an opportunity to attens private/catholic middle or high schools?
Hi Meghan. I have not seen any scholarships to help pay for secondary education, but that is probably because I haven’t been looking for it. I did an initial search and found that there are some scholarships Jack Kent Cooke Foundation and the Children’s Scholarship Fund. I also recommend checking with the school’s administration, as well as the local church diocese, to see if there are possibilities for scholarships or discounts.
Contact the Catholic Diocese in your area and the actual Parish/school . They do have scholorships
Yes, great tip for students! Looking locally for scholarships is a great way to find scholarships that are not always advertised widely. Plus, local scholarships typically have a smaller applicant pool since the requirements are so specific. Again, great tip!
Are there scholarships for older adults applying to college?
There are scholarships for adults returning back to school. I am working right now on a list of scholarships for “non-traditional” students (students older than 25). In the meantime, here is one scholarship for adults returning to school – Because College is Expensive Scholarship. The deadline is June 30, 2016.
Thank you. I will apply.
Are there any scholarships for incoming college students for Occupational therapy?
Hi Paula. I have not come across any scholarships for incoming Occupational Therapy students. The ones I have found, such as Physical Therapist Scholarship, all require students to have completed at least one year of undergradaute work. So, keep these types of scholarships on your calendar and apply next year after you have a year of study under your belt. In the meantime, apply to the scholarships that are open to incoming college students that do not have a major requirement – there are MANY of them.
Hi Kira. I have not found any specific scholarships for high school students who will be preparing to be a veterinarian. Most of the scholarships I have found for vet students are for college upperclassmen. However, that does not mean there are not scholarships for you. Apply for the scholarships that have no major requirements – there are MANY that are open to students who will be studying anything. In addition, scholarships looking for students studying sciences may also work for you since pre-vet programs are all about science – just make sure you read the requirements closely.
Are there any scholarships for single mom’s looking to return to college along with her two college son’s?
Hi Marissa. I am currently working on more comprehensive scholarship lists on my website. For example, I will have lists for scholarships for parents, as well as scholarships for “non-traditional” students. Here are a few that you could qualify for:
Patsy Takemoto Mink Education Foundation Support Awards – http://www.patsyminkfoundation.org/

Unfortunately I have not found any agriscience scholarships for incoming freshman students. However, there are many scholarships out there that do not have major requirements – those could be good options for your student right now. In addition, the financial aid office and/or the department office at the college might have some information about scholarships your student may qualify for. Good luck!
Thanks so much!
I am so very happy to share this information. Good luck!
May I ask if there are any scholarships for incoming undergraduate freshman in the Physician Assistant program?
Hi Shannon. I do not know of any specific scholarships for students in a Physician Assistant program. However, your student should be eligible for scholarships open to students studying a field related to healthcare. You should be able to find some here: https://jlvcollegecounseling.com/scholarships/scholarships-by-major/medical/ In addition, don’t have your child limit their scholarship search to just those open to Physician Assistant/Healthcare majors – instead, apply also to scholarships open to all majors. I wish you luck!

Lastly, I am working on lists of scholarships open to specific race/ethnicities. For example, there will be a list of scholarships open to African American students. This list should be live on my website by the end of the month.

Hi Fabian. There are definitely scholarships where you meet the qualifications.

Hello Jessica,

Hi Leslie. I am trying to build my scholarship list and will be looking for scholarships for Hispanic/Latino students. I am really hoping to get lists for scholarships based on race onto my website very soon (stay tune) 🙂
In the meantime, here is one scholarship that is open to minority students that does not have any other specific requirements (I have others, but they require specific majors or locations).

Good luck! And, again, stay student because there will be a list of scholarships open to Hispanics/Latinos on my website very soon.
Thank you for this listing and I applaud your efforts. Are the essays graded by external entities or those sponsoring them. We have tried several and received no response. It is dishardening to the student… as parents we have to make sure our kids understand that thousands of others are applying also. Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket…
Hi Petal. I completely understand that it can be disheartening when students spend their time on scholarships and then never hear back. The way scholarship providers choose to award their scholarships is completely up to them. From my experience, I have seen that many of these scholarship providers use internal individuals to serve on their scholarship committee and choose the winner(s). My biggest piece of advice when applying to scholarships is to ensure the students are sending in scholarship applications/essays that stand out. If someone can send in the same application/essay, they probably will and the student will probably not stand out or win the scholarship.
I wish your child luck as he or she is applying for scholarships!
Hi Jessica! I have been searching high and low for scholarships for international students and students of single parent, but there doesn’t seem to be much floating around. Have you come across any as yet?
Hi Robynn,
There are definitely scholarships out there for single parents, but not as many for international students (that I know about). However, try this one:
Patsy Takemoto Mink Education Foundation Support Awards – http://www.patsyminkfoundation.org/edsupport.html
I am going to continue looking for scholarships and will be adding them to my database. In addition, I will be adding more specific lists on my website, such as scholarships for parents, scholarships for international students, etc.
Good luck!
Hi Jessica,
I think you may have misunderstood me. I am NOT a single parent but the CHILD of a single parent. Nonetheless, thank you for the assistance.
I am so sorry about that, Robynn. I don’t have any scholarships specifically for children from single parent families. However, there are MANY scholarships out there. Good luck!
I will definitely keep looking! It’s hard to locate international student scholarships
I am looking for scholarships for international students and will have a list on my website sometimes this summer. In the meantime, here is a scholarship that is offered every month and is open to international students: http://www.bgscholarship.com/scholarship.html
