Who doesn’t want money for college? The tricky part can be finding it. Don’t despair: A scholarship might be sitting right under your very own nose.

According to Next Gen Personal Finance, 63% of all undergraduates receive at least one grant or scholarship to help with college expenses. Don’t be left out! Grants and scholarships are a great place to get free money for school that you never have to repay. Experts say that smaller scholarships offer much less competition than larger awards, so we recommend you start close to home. Members Trust is ready to help!
