Need-based scholarships

511 need-based scholarships, with the amount, the deadline and who can apply for each. Awarded on demonstrated financial need, usually assessed from the FAFSA or CSS Profile. Applying costs nothing but the paperwork you have already filed.

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.
