Common questions
- How many leadership scholarships does TryScholarships list?
- 13 programs right now, with top awards adding up to $110,000. 13 of them are fully verified against the sponsor's official site; the rest are marked so you know to confirm details before applying.
- What is the next leadership scholarship deadline?
- Elks Most Valuable Student Scholarship closes Nov 12, 2026. Deadlines are tied to the current award year, and unconfirmed dates are labeled.
- Do I have to pay to apply for these scholarships?
- No. Legitimate scholarships never charge an application fee, and none of the programs listed here should. TryScholarships charges only for its own matching, planning and reminder tools — never to apply.
- How do I see the full requirements and which ones my child qualifies for?
- A parent or guardian starts the free 3-day trial and adds a 5-minute profile for each child. TryScholarships then shows every program's full requirements and official application link, checks each eligibility rule — grade, GPA, state, major, test scores and more — and explains why your child matches or what's missing.
