Red Kite Pro Tip: Scholarships often value long-term involvement and meaningful impact more than a long list of one-time activities. Choose one or two opportunities you can commit to and grow within. Ask teachers, coaches, counselors, employers, or community organizations about mentoring, event planning, committees, and other ways to take on more responsibility.
Log in to Red Kite, bookmark the scholarships you love and apply before the deadline! To see more scholarships tailored to you, make sure your profile is complete and update it if anything’s changed.
