Merit scholarships

3,215 merit scholarships, with the amount, the deadline and who can apply for each. Awarded for academic achievement, test scores or class standing rather than financial need — these reward the work already on your transcript.

Amounts come from the provider. A large figure is sometimes the total a fund awards across all its recipients rather than what one student receives — confirm the individual award with the provider before you apply.
