How to Find More Local College Scholarships
Local scholarships have much less competition, and students who concentrate on them have a much greater chance of winning more money for school.
[2023 Edition]
Local scholarships are those offered to students in the area or state in which a student lives and many are just for students at a specific school. I’ve written a lot about local scholarships because they have much less competition than national scholarships and the chances of winning are greater for students who diligently apply for them.
Students get a list of local scholarships from the counselors at their high schools, so be on the lookout for this list, but don’t limit your scholarship search based solely on it.
There are many more local scholarships to be found!
Here are some helpful links to articles and my video on how to find more local college scholarships:

Looking for scholarships for my son. We live in Kentucky
Hi Trey, what level in school is your son?
I bought your new book on Amazon. Can you suggest any scholarships for math majors/statistics? I did not see any in the book and I think I looked pretty hard. My son would like to do sports statistician. He is a senior in high school, AZ. Would like to attend state university.
Thank you for the book, it’s great.
Hi Valerie, my ebooks are not being sold on Amazon. What book did you buy? The Ultimate Scholarship Book? (This one?) You can get my ebooks (digital downloads) here. I have a very detailed section on how to find scholarships, so I encourage you to download your copies.
