This summer, I will be curating and listing scholarships, so that you can apply for scholarships during May and the rest of the summer to help you achieve a more money less college debt Fall 2026 semester!
$5,000 Worth of Scholarships

How I Used AI to find Summer Scholarships
I used Google Gemini AI to find these scholarships. There were many more listed: I used the prompt “little known scholarships with deadlines after May 4, 2026” without the quotation marks.
Why don’t you try the same prompt using today’s date and find more scholarships with upcoming deadlines? And try other prompts too.
However, don’t use AI to help you write scholarship essays. Many scholarships forbid this in their official rules.
