November is National Scholarship Month, referred to by the National Scholarship Providers Association as a time to raise awareness of scholarship opportunities for current and future college students. November is also an excellent time to begin the scholarship application process if you have not done so already.
Apparently, this is no coincidence and was, in fact, the reason behind changing National Scholarship Month from May to November in 2008. Many scholarship providers are posting new scholarship information and competitions for the next academic year and November is also an ideal month to dedicate some time to finding scholarships for the current and coming academic years.
We recommend starting with UCanGo2.org’s scholarship page. We update our database monthly to make sure all the scholarships are vetted and active and available to all Oklahoma students.
We also recommend OKCollegestart’s scholarship database. It’s very user friendly and easy to filter to find exactly the right scholarship for you or your student.
If you dedicate just a little time each week to scholarship applications, you’ll be surprised how many there are to apply for, and how much money is available to students who need it.
Good luck!
