There you have it, that was over 100 scholarships with May deadlines waiting for someone exactly like you to apply. Whether you walked away with five that fit you perfectly or just one that felt like a long shot worth taking, applying is always worth it. Remember, you cannot win if you don’t apply!

A few reminders before you go: double-check each scholarship’s official website for the most up-to-date requirements, since details can change. Pay close attention to deadlines — some of the May 1st opportunities may have already passed, so prioritize accordingly.

And don’t get discouraged if you don’t win on the first try. Scholarship hunting is a numbers game, and every application makes you a little sharper for the next one.
