The year may be winding down, but that doesn’t mean your student’s scholarship search has to! While we certainly believe students should take time during their winter break to rest and enjoy holiday celebrations with family and friends, we also know it’s a great time to knock out some last-minute applications for scholarships.

Here is a list of 24 scholarships to apply for this December. Some deadlines are as late as December 31st! Either way, these next few weeks are major deadline weeks so you don’t want to miss out!

If you are curious how we found these scholarships, check out our free training on how to uncover legitimate scholarships, “6 Steps to Quickly Secure Scholarships for College.” This training is geared towards teaching parents what you need to know about paying for college so you can help your child avoid student loan debt.
