Scholarship Databases

Many scholarship resources and search services are available on the internet. Students should use as many resources as possible, as some awards will be included in one database, but not in others. Avoid scholarship scams and be wary of search programs that charge fees.

A few of the larger free services are listed below. Note: The OURS National Scholarships Office does not endorse any of these sites and is not responsible for the information or services they offer.
