Each college offers their own scholarships. You can usually find information about scholarships by going to a school's Financial Aid webpage. Be sure to check application deadlines. For the larger flagship scholarships, application dates are oftentimes very close to the early action/early decision application deadlines. Other scholarships may have deadlines a month or so after. Each school is different, so check the websites of each school to which you apply! Some sample scholarships are listed below:
