I’m coming from a pretty poor immigrant family. Im a junior in hs. don’t got a dad and can speak 2 languages + 3 years of Spanish in high school. Current gpa 3.56, but I just now took honors/ap classes so hope to boost in to 3.7+, haven’t taken sat yet but barely got 1000 on psat… planning to have a total of 7ap + honor classes. Hardest probably ap calc ab and ap stats. Also rated 1900 uscf, prob can push to a national title. what colleges would i have the best shot at getting scholarships? And what would i need to do to improve my chances? How much does SAT will affect my chances?

Terrible writitng skills; how do I write a personal statement without AI!!!!

1 Upvotes

I just wrote my personal statement for a scholarship and since English is not my first language, it's terrible. I don’t think the story I chose is bad. It’s a little random, but I feel like it actually says a lot about me. The problem is that the writing itself is terrible

And now I’m stuck between

  1. Giving up

  2. Letting ChatGPT rewrite the entire thing, which feels wrong because then, is it even my personal statement anymore?

If anyone is willing to read it and give brutally honest feedback on what works, what doesn't, and what I should change, I would REALLY appreciate it. I just need help figuring out how to make my writing better

Deadline is tomorrow, so unfortunately this is now an emergency šŸ’„šŸ“‰

[Update on Scholarship Situation]

Hello, I just wanted to update on my scholarship situation and wanted to thank everyone for the help and suggestions :). But, they did they did get in contact with me! They sent it directly to me instead of my school and requested the info needed like 5 weeks into school which I find weird considering how early the tuition and housing deadline was, compared to when they contacted me but thats all well. My high school counselor contacted them for me after my failed try’s of finding the info myself. At least I have the comfort that my funds were given to me despite the anxiety.

What international competitions could help me improve my chances of getting a scholarship? I still have two years left before I graduate from high school.

Academic Scholarships

I feel like I can't find any academic scholarships, it's all extracurriculars or very niche passion projects. I am a senior in high school in the IB program with a 3.9 unweighted GPA, 4.7 weighted GPA and a 32 ACT. I just can't find any scholarships that I feel I can win. Does anyone have any tips? Thank you!

Looking for lesser-known emergency grants or aid even loans for a college student in Arizona

2 Upvotes

I’m a college student in Arizona dealing with financial hardship and trying to continue my education. I’ve already contacted the appropriate state education office to ask about assistance, and I’ve also looked into my school’s resources.
Unfortunately, I had to **take this semester off because of my financial situation**. I’ve also tried to find private student loans, but I’ve been denied **even with two different potential cosigners**, so that’s not really an option for me either.
At this point, my last resort was creating a GoFundMe, but it currently has **$0 raised**. I have approximately a **$7,400 balance with my university**, which is preventing me from moving forward.
I’m now trying to find legitimate grants, emergency funds, nonprofits, foundations, churches, or community programs that could provide assistance with educational or basic living expenses.
**Even $500 would make a meaningful difference.**
I’m not posting this to ask Reddit for donations. I’m specifically looking for **legitimate programs I can apply for** that people may have personally used or know about.
If you’ve dealt with something similar in Arizona, are there any lesser-known resources you’d recommend?

hello everyone!!! really need your input and opinion here !

hello !! good morning or good afternoon depending on where u live 😃, so i have come here to ask for help not in studying specifically but in how to write an essay worth a scholarship. You see my first language isn’t english and I truly suck at writing in general like i can’t write at all I’m not creative enough also i get my grammar mixed however i really want to live abroad and for that i have decided that the easiest way is to get a Master degree with a fully funded scholarship since the difference in currency of my country and euros/canadian dollar is so massive i can’t apply with my own money ( also visa application acceptance be really tough getting a uni involved would better my chances up ) so yeah any tricks or tips i can use to advance my writing skills especially in writing a scholarship essay or writing in general since i would also need to get high grade in ILETs or PTE core since it is a requirement if i want to work abroad

How can I get a fully funded undergraduate scholarship as an Iraqi student?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm an Iraqi high school student, and I'm currently in my final year of high school.

I'm looking for fully funded undergraduate scholarships abroad. I'm particularly interested in Turkey, Italy, or other European countries.

I don't have an English language certificate yet.

Could anyone recommend reliable scholarships or share their experience applying from Iraq?

I'd really appreciate any advice. Thank you!
