Outside Scholarships
Recommended Scholarship Search Engines
Colorado Christian University recognizes that paying for a college education can often be challenging. We strongly recommend that all of our students, including non-traditional and graduate students, search for outside scholarships. The following is a list of free scholarship search engines that we recommend. A profile is required with each search engine in order to help personalize your search.
- Please remember that while we can recommend these search engines, the integrity of the sources offering scholarships cannot be guaranteed. You may wish to conduct additional research on a specific source.
- There are other scholarship search engines from which you may find additional outside scholarships. This is not a comprehensive listing of resources.
- Please keep in mind that if a scholarship search engine requests money to find your scholarship listings, it is probably not a good site to use. Although some sources are legitimate, the rule of thumb is: any site requesting money to find money is probably a scam!!
