Mostly creating this for Robyn and Alec so I have an ongoing list of scholarships for them to apply for. Originally created 8/24/2016. Ideally these are non-need based scholarships for high school seniors entering their freshman year of college. A couple are for current college students.
Also a nice tool to estimate your EFC from FAFSA before you dig into all this:

(Tip: Create a scholarship application email address; some of these are going to get you *spammed*)
