$1,000 Labroots Undergraduate Back-to-School Scholarship, D: July 31, 2026
This scholarship is open worldwide to undergraduate students in the STEM fields.
Selected criteria from website:
“This scholarship welcomes applicants enrolled in an accredited undergraduate degree program (BA, BS) to apply for funding to offset costs associated with academic pursuits in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) field.
Textbooks and materials for undergraduate STEM programs can often be expensive, especially if they need to be purchased new.
The Labroots Undergraduate Back to School scholarship will provide one incoming or current undergraduate student with $1000 to directly offset the costs of course textbooks and materials. The scholarship is merit-based and applicants should describe their qualifications in the application process.”
Labroots offers more scholarships throughout the year, so if you look at the Closed Scholarships, you can put them on a calendar for next year to apply for those: https://www.labroots.com/scholarships

$15,000 Roy E. Jorgensen Memorial Scholarship, D: July 31, 2026
This scholarship is open to U.S. citizens who are qualified undergraduate college seniors or graduate students enrolled at an accredited school of engineering in the United States.
The application is a PDF form, which can easily converted to Word for those who have the Word program.
The following answer comes from Google Gemini AI Overview, sourced from the Microsoft website: “To turn a PDF into a Word document, the easiest method is to open the PDF directly in Microsoft Word. Simply open Word, go to File > Open, select your PDF, and click OK when the conversion prompt appears. Word will automatically convert the file into an editable format.”
How I Found this Scholarship:
I used the following prompt using Google Gemini AI:
What scholarships with deadlines of July 31, 2026 have the largest dollar amount to help pay for the 2026-2027 academic year? Please list the 5 top scholarships.
You could use a variation of this, such as “What scholarships with deadlines in August 2026” or “upcoming deadlines in 2026.”
Have fun with this prompt and experiment with AI.
You could write “list the top 10 scholarships in ascending order” or “list the top 10 scholarships in ascending order with deadlines in August 2026 for English majors” or whatever major you are.
Or you could write something along the lines of “list the top 10 scholarships in ascending order for the rest of 2026 with the largest dollar amounts for students with a GPA of 2.4 or below or no GPA required”
Or you could write “list the top 10 scholarships with the highest dollar amounts in ascending order with deadlines in August 2026 for English majors.” Yes, you could, if you would. Try it on a train. Or a plane (but not while flying).
