Common questions

How many scholarships are available for Hillsborough County students?
313 that we have verified against the sponsor's own page, 211 of which are restricted to Hillsborough County, a city inside it, or a single high school.
What is the largest local scholarship in Hillsborough County?
HCA Florida Brandon Hospital & Physicians Healthcare Scholars Scholarship, at $20,000. It is restricted to this area rather than open nationally, so the applicant pool is a fraction of the size.
Are there need-based scholarships in Hillsborough County?
134 of the 313 awards we list state that they consider financial need. Where a sponsor does not say, we leave the field blank rather than assume.
Why apply for local scholarships instead of national ones?
The applicant pool. A national award can draw tens of thousands of applicants for a few hundred places, while an award limited to one county or one high school is competing against a graduating class. 211 of the 313 awards on this page are limited that way.
