How do i get a scholarship?

Question

I'm a student at cuny who will be transfering to suny in the spring. I just want to apply to as many scholarships as I can so that I can pay for school and all the things I will be needing. I'll have a 3.3 average by the time I transfer over in the Spring. Are there any scholarships for people with good grades?Does getting good grades even count? Any websites you know besides "Fastweb.com"?

Answer 1

Good grades counts a lot, but since only something like 2% of students are on scholarship, the good grades which get scholarships are things in the 3.85 and above range, for the most part. There are some small scholarships which are occasionally available for odd reasons, like that your last name is the same as that of the donor, or that you come from a particular town, or something like that. Talk to your financial aid office about the possibilities.

Answer 3

With mere 3.3GPA, you might be better off working the professors' lounge as my cousin Alexa did. She graduated with honors from Oxford (lol).
