RaiseMe
"RaiseMe is a social enterprise focused on expanding access to higher education, especially among low-income and first-generation students. Rather than waiting until the end of high school to earn scholarships, which is often too late to impact a student's college ambitions or choices, RaiseMe enables students to earn scholarships throughout high school, starting as early as 9th grade, for doing all the things that best prepare them to succeed, whether that’s getting good grades, volunteering in the community or joining an extracurricular."

TFS Scholarships
"Our massive scholarship database provides you with access to $41 billion in funding, and grows at a rate of 5,000 new awards per month. The best part is most of these opportunities come directly from colleges and universities - not just from competitive, national pools. That increases your odds of finding free money, and finding the right scholarships for you."
