Without Scholarships.com, I doubt I would’ve applied to as many scholarships I’ve applied to make my mothers words true."

"The process of applying for the Amazon Future Engineer scholarship was funny. I stumbled upon it months before it was due and recognized it was an extraordinary scholarship that I fit the criteria for and would love to receive. But I procrastinated down to the wire and submitted it the day of the deadline. I honestly forgot I had applied to it until they threw a surprise celebration for me at my school and donated ten fire tablets in my stead. I’ll be forever grateful for receiving such a scholarship."

"I had the Scholarships.com account in high school; however, when applying for the master's program, I revised my bio. The description was super easy and helped me understand with the scholarships that matches with my background. The questionnaire aims to align my background to scholarships, which will help me feel confident when applying. I'm pursuing my master's degree in Automotive Engineering at Clemson University."

"SAE scholarships assist in developing the future engineering workforce by helping students achieve their dreams of becoming an engineer. The SAE scholarship provided me with unlimited resources, and it helped fund my dream of pursuing my Master’s degree in Automotive engineering. With the scholarship, I received an SAE membership which I find beneficial. The reason is that I could go to some events, such as the other day I was able to take the tour of Hendrix Motorsport in North Carolina, and also be able to network with other SAE members as well. With SAE, I attended the career fair, and spoke with recruiters, and gained industry knowledge."

Scholarships can have tedious requirements at times, so it was refreshing to see that their door was open to multiple types of students. This has inspired me to make my mark on campus and serve wherever I can."

"Thank you for your service. Thanks to all of the scholarship opportunities you showed me, I was able to pay for my entire first year of college at the University of Michigan! One scholarship in particular that I earned was through the American Legion. Not only did they grant me money for my college education, they offered me the opportunity to join them at their national conference in Salt Lake City and give a speech to all of the Veterans of the American Legion."

"Thank you. Your scholarship finder has really helped me to pay my own way in college so I am on my way to achieving my dreams in the engineering profession."

"Scholarships.com helped me in so many ways it's unbelievable. They made it so easy for me to find what I was looking for and consolidate in one easy to find web site. They even, by asking me a few questions during registration, weeded out all of the scholarships that I wasn't eligible for. This made it extremely convenient for me because I didn't have to look at this huge clutter of random scholarships, I only was presented with the scholarships that I was eligible for."

"In the end I had to turn down some of the money just because I had over and above what I needed to go to college. I could have taken it all but I wanted to give another person in my shoes the same chance that I had. I want them to get a scholarship and continue the dream that I so honorably get to live."

"I was the recipient of several scholarships. Among them, three were found here at Scholarships.com. Of course, just because I'm a Sophomore in college doesn't mean I've quit the scholarship search here at Scholarships.com! I'm still searching and don't count me out.

"I began searching for scholarships when I was a Junior in High School. My first stop was Scholarships.com. I began my scholarship search at the local Elks Club and was so thankful to receive the community level scholarship. This was totally unexpected but thanks to Scholarships.com I was made aware of this. My school counselor did not even make my class aware of this scholarship. I have Scholarships.com to thank for assisting me and my family on my search for scholarships."

The website does a great job in disseminating information about scholarships that I am actually eligible for as a graduate student at Yale University. I will continue to use the website to apply for additional grants this March and throughout the 2006-2007 school year. Thank you for your assistance."

"After years of winning scholarships through Scholarships.com, I thought it was about time that I express my gratitude. I started applying for scholarships around my 12th grade year in high school because only then did I realize how expensive college was. Out of all the search engines for scholarships, Scholarships.com is definitely the best. Everything is perfectly organized and right at my fingertips. I have classwork and clubs to focus on, I don't have the time to search through a confusing website to find a scholarship and hope that it pertains to me. Scholarships.com simplifies the process and just gives me the scholarships that matter."

"Thanks to Scholarships.com, I haven't had to pay a cent for my entire college education. I've collected a wealth of scholarships ranging from $500 to $10,000. I am currently a Junior at Tulane University studying premed and so far my college education has been completely paid for! I don't know what I would have done if it wasn't for Scholarships.com. I just thought I'd say thank you for providing such an amazing service to college students. Keep up the good work!"
