Due Dates for College Scholarships in September 2020
A handy list of September scholarships for college students.
The last thing you want to worry about in college is how to pay for it. Of course, it’s an important detail.
But:
There are other things that require your attention – like studying, homework, and adjusting to the routine of a new semester.
Staying focused so you can do well in school without the stress of financial woes is ideal.
Even if you already have this semester paid for, there’s still the rest of your college career that needs funding.
That’s why…
You’ll want to keep applying for as many scholarships as you can.
Hunting down scholarships that currently being offered this year takes time, though. That time spent searching is better spent actually working on the applications.
So, to help you out:
I put together a list of September college scholarships. All the deadlines are up-to-date for 2020.
Table of Contents:
- Deadlines in Early September (1st – 14th)
- Deadlines in Mid- September (15th – 20th)
- Deadlines in Late September (16th – 30th)
49+ September Scholarships
Qualification requirements in this list will be shown displayed with different colors and letters.
They can give you a point of reference to get through this list more quickly. Use this key to know which of the September scholarships that you can personally qualify for and can apply for.
