School is almost out and summer will be in full swing and while it’s tempting for your student to want to hit the beach and make lasting memories with friends and family it’s equally important to get a head start on the competition and apply for scholarships. We are all for some fun in the sun and lazy summer days too, but with college debt rising at an alarming rate, we also know the importance of applying for scholarships ALL year round.
Here is a list of 31 scholarships to apply to over summer break. Some summer deadlines are as late as August 31st! Either way, summer break is a great time to knock out some summer scholarship applications so you don’t want to miss out!
And if you are curious as to how we found these, check out our free training on how to uncover legitimate scholarships, “6 Steps to Quickly Secure Scholarships for College.” This training is geared toward teaching parents of high school students what they need to know about paying for college so that you can help your child avoid student loan debt.

I plan on entering an accredited 4 year college this fall. I need financial help in every way available. I was adopted at birth, and my adopted mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and has been unemployed for a year. I graduated with honors and I’m determined to make a bright future for myself.
Great job! This list will hopefully help you find a few good scholarships!
What state are you in? Because you are adopted you should be able to go to college for free in your state.
