A few scholarship offerings with Deadlines of August 31, 2023 are included here. Good luck!!
First, I would like to introduce you to an educational portal called Unigo.com.
Unigo.com is an educational portal that connect students to scholarships, provides college profiles, reviews, and a college match service. In order to use this site and apply for their scholarships, a free account needs to be set up. It is a fairly simple process; requiring your name, email, and expected graduation date. After signing up, you can complete a profile, and they will match scholarships to your profile. They also have a monthly “scholarship.” (It’s more like a monetary award for writing a 250 word essay, if your essay is chosen.) If you are not ready to sign up, you can scroll down the home page and you can still search 1000’s of scholarships in various categories.
Here is this month’s monthly scholarship from Unigo:
