Don’t limit yourself to 体育菠菜大平台 scholarships, applying to outside (or non-体育菠菜大平台) scholarships could potentially provide you with thousands of dollars towards your college education. Research your local community organizations, 企业, and religious organizations to find locally offered scholarships. Another great research tip is to look at your county community foundations, such as the 科尔尼县社区基金会，上面会列出当地的奖学金.

There are many scholarship databases to search for state-wide or nation-wide scholarships provided by corporate and non-profit organizations. Always take caution when applying for outside scholarships.

远离骗子的小贴士:

  1. Never pay to apply for a scholarship or to receive a scholarship. 奖学金 are a source of free money given to help with higher education costs. If a scholarship requires you to pay to apply or receive the scholarship, 这是一个骗局.
  2. If a scholarship is requesting unusual information, it is most likely a scam. You should NEVER list sensitive personal information, 比如你的社会保险号, 医疗记录, 或信用卡信息, 关于奖学金申请.
  3. Never give out your bank account and routing number to scholarship applications.
  4. If a scholarship pushes a sense of urgency (other than an application deadline), such as saying the scholarship is on a first come, first serve basis or you need to apply in the next five minutes or it will close, 这是一个骗局. Also, if the scholarship says that they award students weekly or monthly, they may be a scam.
  5. 如果奖学金保证你会赢, or if it uses terms such as “sweepstakes”, “画”, 或者“随机选择”, 这可能是个骗局.
  6. If a scholarship tells you that you’ve won, but you never applied for the scholarship, 这是一个骗局.
  7. If a scholarship application website looks fake or unprofessional, 这可能是个骗局.

Always trust your gut and use caution when applying for outside scholarships. If you have a question about the legitimacy of a scholarship, ask your school counselor or a 体育菠菜大平台财政援助管理员 寻求帮助.

What to do once you are awarded an outside scholarship

If you are awarded an outside scholarship, it is important that you let us know. 学生 can notify 体育菠菜大平台 of their outside scholarships in MyBLUE on the 金融援助 main page by selecting the Outside Scholarship Notification hyperlink on the right-hand side of the page. 

Clicking on the Outside Scholarship Notification link will bring up a form to complete that will ask:

  • 捐赠者是谁?
  • 捐赠者的体育菠菜大平台
  • 奖学金名称及金额
  • How 学生 wants the scholarship applied (all Fall, split in half between Fall and Spring, etc.)

For a walk through on what to do when you are awarded an outside scholarship watch the video below.

核实入学情况

There is a question on the form asking if the donor needs verification of enrollment sent to them. If so, please mark the semesters in which you would like 体育菠菜大平台 to send a letter to your donor. This will let them know that you are enrolled as a full-time student. 

Our office will only send a letter to inform them that you are enrolled and where they will send the funding. This can only happen if you include the donors physical address or email address on the donor information page. If that information is not included, no letter will be sent. 

需要将成绩单寄给捐赠者

If you are needing a transcript or schedule sent to the donor, you will need to contact the 注册商’s Office or print your schedule from MyBlue and they will send that information directly. 

收到奖学金支票

If you receive a check made payable to you, 学生, please endorse that check and bring it in to our office for processing. All outside scholarship checks must be reported as financial aid to our office. When we receive the scholarship check, we will apply it to your financial aid package. If possible, have the donor make checks payable to 体育菠菜大平台.


By law, 体育菠菜大平台 must adjust federal aid if outside scholarships result in excess awards. If financial aid is changed, 体育菠菜大平台 will send an updated offer letter via email.
