Prepare for scholarship season with help from the Academic Resource Center
Scholarship season is almost here, and appointments are now available at the Academic Resource Center (ARC) to help you craft high-quality essays and put your best foot forward in your applications.
The financial aid office and the ARC are partnering to offer this new ongoing service with the goal of helping more of our students earn extra funds for the 2025-26 academic year. While you may be familiar with the OSAC Scholarships (opening on Nov. 1) and our George Fox Donor-Funded Scholarships (opening Dec. 1), there are thousands more outside scholarships available to those willing to brave the application process.
Many scholarship applications are structured similarly and ask the same questions, so preparing well now can help you streamline your applications down the road. Follow the steps below to help you along in your scholarship search:
- Look through our Outside Scholarships page for links to regional and national databases that will help you find scholarships you may be eligible for.
- Review our Scholarship Essay Tips to begin piecing together your strongest content.
- Schedule an appointment with the Academic Resource Center for individual help with your scholarship essay writing.
- Keep your eyes open for more Daily Bruin posts and emails with information about upcoming scholarship workshops!
You can contact your financial aid counselor with any questions about scholarships, while questions about essay assistance can be directed to ARC staff.
