Not enough scholarship databases yet? Here’s another that I’ll shine the spotlight on: Big Future Scholarship Search. Big Future Scholarship Search is an offshoot of collegeboard.org, and, according to their FAQ page, “is a tool that allows you to create a profile with standard information requested by many college scholarship applications. This profile is used to match you with scholarships that you’re eligible for based on their requirements. You’ll be able to reuse the information for other applications without having to retype your personal information for each subsequent application.”
Once a Common App is completed, you can sync “your data to the College Board in the Financial Aid Resources section of your Common App account.”
After creating a free College Board account, you can sync data to the scholarship search tool from your account, or edit and enter it manually. “You can then use the information in your application profile to fill out admissions and scholarship applications by automatically syncing data with other online applications, which are set up to securely exchange information with College Board.”
Not sure what career path you want? What type of school you want to attend? Are there scholarships that you’re eligible for? Right on the home page of Big Future, there are online quizzes to help you answer those questions.
As with other scholarship search engines, matches can be made based on interests, situations, affiliations, citizenship, professions, and other areas of life. In addition, by setting up and account and building a college list, you are entered for their $500 and $40,000 scholarship giveaway.
