Scholarships by the numbers

 

 

Let’s look at some facts:

Want the truth about finding scholarships for yourself or your student?

Last year, 58% of families used scholarships to pay for school

There were an estimated 1.7 Million different scholarships offered

The average amount of scholarships found by students was $7,923

7% of students received enough to cover 100% tuition

8% of students received enough to cover 75% tuition

9% of students received enough to cover 50% tuition

30% of scholarships are awarded to students with GPA 3.0-3.4

17% of STEM students were awarded

12% of non STEM students were awarded

16% of scholarships awarded were “need” based

18% of scholarships awarded were “merit” based

Our students at Imagine Scholarships have found millions in scholarships

Even high income families are awarded scholarships and qualify for a lot of scholarships

The average award for our students who consistently apply to 3-5 scholarships per week is 21.5k

When looking at these statistics, it seems natural to ask, why aren’t more students applying and winning scholarships? In a recent poll of 500 students, we found that 62% said they didn’t know where to apply and that 19% felt the process was too overwhelming. We at Imagine created a simple solution to this complicated problem.

We built a database with over $9 billion dollars of scholarship opportunities, hundreds of internships and a library of videos and other resources to help students be successful in each step of the process. This library helps students through many parts of the college admissions process and helps students stay engaged in the college admissions process.

Access to the database is offered through groups, schools, financial institutions as well as for individuals. An individual subscription is $16.99 per month and can be cancelled anytime. The access offers an easy, organized approach to finding scholarships and keeping track of your progress. Some people ask, “why would I pay for a scholarship service when there are free options available?” The answer is simple in our opinion, you get what you pay for.

Scholarships are for all students. High School students, current college students and scholarships are a huge benefit for post secondary students as well. We have taken things a step farther in our database and made sure to fill it full of scholarships for students going to trade schools and those seeking certifications.
