While many students are familiar with need-based grants and merit-based awards, they often overlook a massive source of support—private scholarships. These are funded by organizations, foundations, and even quirky contests that reward creativity, uniqueness, and everyday strengths. Each year, we help students earn $30-40 million in scholarships by tapping into these lesser-known opportunities.
Of course, solid academics are helpful. But what truly sets many scholarships apart are their diverse requirements. You’d be amazed by the kinds of things you can earn money for. Here are just a few examples:
- Jif’s Most Creative Sandwich Scholarship
- Scholarship for Left-Handed Students
- Scholarship for Middle Schoolers
- American Fire Sprinkler Association Scholarship
- Create-A-Greeting-Card Scholarship ($10,000 prize!)
- Copyright Awareness Scholarship
- Duck Calling Contest Scholarship
- United States Bowling Congress Scholarships
I get it. When I was applying to college, I was not sure exactly what to do. I didn’t graduate with a 4.0. I wasn’t the top of my class. I was the first in my family to attend college. But I did the research. I targeted low-to-medium competition scholarships and applied to 20 of them. The result? I won 8! I didn’t get a full ride initially, but I ended up getting paid to go to school. It wasn’t magic. It was persistence.
The number one false belief students hold? “I’m not qualified enough.”
This mindset keeps students from applying, from trying, and from unlocking opportunities that could shape their future. Don’t fall into that trap. There are scholarships for your hobbies, your background, your goals—and yes, even your quirks.
Scholarships
So many students assume scholarships are only for valedictorians or star athletes. The truth? There are hundreds of millions of dollars in private scholarship funds available each year for students who are simply average to above average. That’s right—even if your GPA isn’t perfect or you’re not the captain of the debate team, there could be a scholarship out there with your name on it.
Achieve Your Academic Goals Effortlessly
We’re here to help you discover all your options and find scholarships that fit you. Whether you need help identifying where to start or want support with applications, SAGE Affordable Tutoring is ready to guide you. We offer free consultations and proven strategies that help students secure real money for college.
