National Scholarship Search

A variety of free national scholarship search programs and websites can assist students in locating additional scholarship sources. This list is a sampling of some of those sites that provide scholarship information. Boise State University does not endorse any specific website and is not responsible for the content on the various websites.

Please keep in mind that there are also many scholarship searches that will charge students a fee. Some of these services may be scams. If the guarantee or offer is too good to be true, it probably is. We strongly encourage students to review the Smart Guide to Financial Aid before they start their search.
