March is here which means longer days, a little more sunshine, and spring break plans starting to take shape. While everyone’s looking forward to a reset, scholarship deadlines don’t take the week off. At Red Kite, we believe families deserve stability. Scholarship tools and platforms come and go, and when one changes course, it can disrupt progress fast. That’s why it matters to choose a trusted, reliable platform you can count on so the scholarships you save, the deadlines you track, and the progress you’ve made doesn’t disappear or get harder overnight.
With that in mind, we pulled together this March Scholarship Spotlight: a short, curated list of opportunities due throughout March and early April, so you can spend less time scrolling and more time applying to scholarships open to a wide range of students.
After you review the Spotlight list, log into Red Kite to find additional scholarships you may qualify for based on your location, activities, and plans.
