State/National Scholarships

The following few websites are considered three of the best websites to search for various private and national scholarships: https://www.scholarships.com/, https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/pay-for-college/scholarship-search and https://www.fastweb.com/. Also by logging into your MCIS account through "Rapid Identity" there are hundreds of scholarships you can apply for.

The following link will facilitate setting up a student account for a program called "RaiseMe" where certain colleges award "micro-scholarships" to students in grades 9-12 when the student achieves various goals. You aren't competing against other students for these scholarships. As long as you accomplish certain tasks while in high school, you automatically start earning funds to go toward colleges that have partnered with RaiseMe. There are some Minnesota colleges participating in this program. Head to the following website to set up your account and read more details about the program: https://www.raise.me/how-it-works
