What is the deadline for most college scholarships?
Scholarship deadlines vary significantly. Most major awards for the 2026-2027 academic year have deadlines between October 2025 and April 2026. Nursing-specific scholarships from NSNA typically close in January, while the Gates Scholarship and Jack Kent Cooke Foundation have fall deadlines. We display a countdown timer on each scholarship card so you can see exactly how much time remains. We recommend starting applications at least two months before each deadline to secure strong recommendation letters.

Absolutely. Many scholarships in our database welcome community college students, including the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Transfer Scholarship (up to $55,000 per year), Phi Theta Kappa scholarship programs, NSNA Foundation scholarships, and numerous nursing-specific awards. Use the "Undergraduate" degree level filter and look for awards that list associate degree students as eligible. The Hispanic Scholarship Fund and UNCF also accept community college applicants.
