College students need your support now more than ever. After a long year filled with FAFSA delays, many students are starting the fall semester without knowing how much financial aid they'll receive. Selecting a college and heading off to school without a clear price tag has been a major stressor for students and their families. While much remains uncertain, there is one thing that businesses of all industries and sizes can do to help: launch a scholarship campaign, no matter the amount. Your company has the opportunity to be a reliable source of financial aid. Gen Z is known to support brands that show they care.

Gen Z has said that they will support brands that support them. So, why not support Gen Z in a way that will resonate with them best? With economic insecurity being the primary factor holding students back from furthering their education, Gen Z is highly dependent on scholarship assistance. If your brand already has a marketing budget dedicated to reaching Gen Z, a scholarship campaign is an excellent opportunity to connect with your target audience. The majority of college applicants are young adults who are in the process of forming their lifelong brand preferences. When a brand offers a scholarship, it creates a win-win scenario for both marketers and students.

Our director of student advocacy, Jennifer Finetti, recently spoke with Yahoo about how students can successfully find and apply for scholarships. Jennifer recommends applying to 3 scholarships per week, which many students may initially find daunting. But that’s where ScholarshipOwl can help. With the use of AI, we are able to help students find credible, low-competition scholarships that they match well with. ScholarshipOwl also eliminates a lot of the time-consuming work by allowing students to apply for multiple scholarships using the same application, auto-apply to recurring scholarships, and opt-in to auto-apply to scholarships with no supplemental requirements.

Even after receiving loans, grants, and institutional scholarships, many students still do not have enough money to pay for the upcoming school year. Here’s How Students Can Address Unmet Financial Needs: ➡️ Apply to private scholarships on ScholarshipOwl ➡️ Get a part-time job ➡️ Ask family for help ➡️ Be aware of your school’s aid limit policy For more information, check out the Yahoo Finance article that we were recently featured in: https://lnkd.in/dFdTU4Bm #Scholarships #Tuition #FinancialAid #ScholarshipOwl #YahooFinance

"As fall tuition bills drop, Gen Z's not ready to pay for college this year, survey says" Fall tuition bills for the upcoming academic year are arriving in mailboxes this month, but only 4% of Gen Z students say they’re fully funded for the entire school year, data shows. As of June, 90% of college-bound Gen Z students said they don’t yet know how they’ll fully pay for school, according to a poll of 9,097 students surveyed by the application site ScholarshipOwl. Gen Z was born between 1997 and 2012 and includes the high school class of 2024. A fifth said they still needed more than $20,000 to meet the year’s tuition. What's something that students can do to help make college more affordable? Constantly apply for scholarships. Apply for scholarships year-round. “People assume they’re only available at certain times, but that’s not true,” Our own Jennifer Finetti said. January through May have the most opportunities from schools, but private scholarships are listed throughout the year. She recommends applying to at least three each week to maximize your chances. Even rising high school juniors should start applying now, experts say.
