$18,000 in Scholarships with July 31, 2026 Deadlines for STEM majors (undergraduate), Nursing majors (undergraduate or graduate), and Civil Engineering Majors (college senior or graduate level)

July 20, 2026
Photo by Jonathan Borba on Pexels.com

Find below several scholarships I found. I also describe how I found each scholarship, methods that you could use to look for more scholarships.

1. https://www.labroots.com/scholarships/details/33

$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

Where I Found this Scholarship:

https://jlvcollegecounseling.com/scholarships/all-scholarships-2/

JLV College Counseling maintains a curated scholarship database. I often explore this database in searching for scholarships to share with students.

2. https://www.schenkfirm.com/scholarship/

$2,.000 Fighting the Nursing Shortage Scholarship, D: July 31, 2026

Selected criteria from website:

“You must be a student at least 18 years old at the age of enrollment, intending to pursue or pursuing a degree in nursing at either the undergraduate or graduate level.

  • Record a video thoughtfully answering the following question: What can the healthcare industry do to encourage more students to pursue nursing?
  • Upload your video as an unlisted YouTube video, then share a link with Schenk Nursing Home Abuse Law
  • Fill out the application form on this page before the scholarship deadline passes”

How I Found this Scholarship:

A student asked me to find scholarships to help finance their senior year in nursing, and this is one of the scholarships I discovered in my searches.

3. https://www.royjorgensen.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).

Scholarship Sweepstakes and How to Avoid Scams: $40,000 in Possible Opportunities

May 22, 2026

As a continuation of Scholarship Summer, here are some scholarship giveaways that may fuel your dreams!

Scholarship Giveaways: An Experiment

Scholarship Contests

Here is one experiment. Some people say avoid scholarship giveaways or contests. And some people say apply because somebody has to win.

As long as scholarship contests or giveaways do not detract you from applying for scholarships such as the

TSU Foundation Scholarships (ongoing),

$3,000 There’s Space for Everybody Scholarship, D: May 31, 2026,

the $10,000 Aspire Higher Scholarships, D: June 10, 2026, or the

$8,000 Regions Riding Forward Scholarship, D: June 30, 2026,

then consider them.

All the scholarships with links above have been discussed in detail in previous blog posts; look at criteria to make sure you can apply for each scholarship before applying.

If you are going to enter scholarship giveaways or sweepstakes, here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Avoid Scams

Contests should never charge anything, ask for your social security number, and never guarantee you awards.

https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/articles/how-to-avoid-scholarship-scams

A good article to give you some steps to distinguish between legitimate scholarships and scams is found above, “How to Avoid Scholarship Scams” by Cole Claybourn, March 15, 2024.

Another good article to read is “How to Avoid Scholarship and Financial Aid Scams” found on the  Federal Trade Commission (FTC)’s website: https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/how-avoid-scholarship-and-financial-aid-scams

2. Use One Email Designated Strictly for Scholarship Contests or Sweepstakes to Avoid Spam if You Decide to Do So

I would suggest setting up one email for scholarships such as the $8,000 Regions Riding Forward Scholarship or those offered through websites like Bold.org https://bold.org/scholarships/  or Scholarships360.org.

Then, set up another separate email strictly for scholarship contests or giveaways.

This email strictly for scholarship contests may be spammed. Just expect it.

Make note on a Word document or Google doc of what giveaways you enter, cut and paste the link, the notification date (often found in the official rules), and any usernames and passwords you create for that website.

Be sure to check back close to the notification date. Also, check spam folders that may catch a notice if you win.

3. Scholarship Sweepstakes and Giveaways: A Few

Here are three:

A. https://www.niche.com/colleges/scholarships/25k-no-essay-scholarship-202605/

$25,000 Niche No Essay Scholarship, D: May 31, 2026

Selected criteria from website:

“All high school and college students, as well as anyone looking to attend college or graduate school in the next year. Please note: Not everyone is eligible for this scholarship. Niche sponsored scholarships and sweepstakes are for people with US citizenship or a valid Visa/US passport only.

The $25,000 No Essay Scholarship is an easy scholarship with no essay required! Only one entry allowed per person. The winner will be determined by random drawing and then contacted directly . . . “

B. https://scholarships360.org/scholarships/search/10000-no-essay-scholarship/

$10,000 Scholarships360 No Essay Scholarship

Selected criteria from website:

“Eligibility Requirements: Open to all grade levels.

Application Requirements: No essay, no transcript. Applicants must create a free account on Scholarships360.”

C. https://www.discover.com/credit-cards/student-credit-card/scholarship/

$5,000 Discover Scholarship Sweepstakes, each month, final deadline: Aug 31, 2026

Selected criteria: “NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Sweepstakes open to residents of the 50 United States (DC) and the US Territories 18 years or older. See Official Rules at discover.com/scholarship for eligibility and entry requirements, entry deadlines and drawing dates, details including odds, list of eligible colleges and universities, prize descriptions and an alternate method of entry.”

And a fourth:

D. https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/pay-for-college/bigfuture-scholarships

$40,000 BigFuture Scholarships, first deadline: May 31, 2026

To explore if you are a high school junior or sophomore.

4. Scholarship Giveaways and Scholarships: An Experiment

I would like to run a controlled experiment. After reading the idea below, contact Mike Turner at mjturner@tnstate.edu if you are interested.

First, set up a separate email strictly for scholarship contests and sweepstakes. Write down the username and password (do not rely on memory).

Contact me, so we can run the experiment for 60 days or so. A small number of students will be involved.

Create a Google doc, which will include what giveaways you enter, scholarship links you cut and paste, and the notification date (often found in the official rules). You can provide a link to this document if you wish.

I will send you a curated list of scholarship giveaways and contests.

You can ask me about certain scholarship giveaways or contests to see if they are legitimate.

With a small group, we will share these finds.

Enter them, and pay attention to notification dates. Check your email and also the spam folder.

Keep track of your results and share them with me.

Another Find: SchoolHouse Connection Program, D: June 2, 2026

I often find interesting opportunities when I search for scholarships.

If you qualify, consider this opportunity.

https://schoolhouseconnection.org/program/scholarship

$2,500 and more SchoolHouse Connection Scholarship Program, D: June 2, 2026

“The SchoolHouse Connection scholarship is one of the nation’s only scholarship programs specifically for youth who have experienced homelessness.”

“You are eligible to apply for the SchoolHouse Connection Youth Leadership & Scholarship Program if you meet all of the following:

  • You currently reside in the United States. (Undocumented applicants are eligible.)
  • You were born on or after June 2, 2007.
  • You will be starting college for the first time in the 2027–2028 academic year at a four-year college or university, community college, or trade school. This includes:
    • High school juniors
    • High school seniors planning to take a gap year
    • Students earning a GED who plan to start college in 2027–2028
    • Note: this does not include dual-enrollment courses.
  • You have experienced homelessness within the last six years.

Our program begins working with students one year before they start college to provide intensive college readiness support.”

Scholarship Summer: $5,000 Worth of Curated Scholarships and How to Find More using AI  

May 11, 2026

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

1. https://www.extraspace.com/self-storage/scholarship/

$3,000 There’s Space for Everybody Scholarship, D: May 31, 2026; eight awarded

From website:

Students must be 16 years or older and a legal resident of the U.S.at time of application; students must be attending an accredited college or university in the U.S. and be enrolled full-time in an accredited college or university for Fall 2026.

Complete the application and write an essay of “500 to 800 words in length, and answer the question: How have you exhibited a commitment to inclusion and strengthening your community through work, service, or other extra-curricular activities and how will your education help you continue this commitment during college and beyond?”

2. https://apexminecrafthosting.com/minecraft-scholarship/

$2,000 Minecraft Scholarship, D: July 31, 2026

From website:

Students must be a U.S. citizen, 3.0 or higher GPA, and currently enrolled in college or high school.

“Write a short essay of no less than 500 words about your opinion on how Minecraft can be a positive influence on education and career development. Fill out the information form below with your essay and appropriate information.”

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.

April brings Scholarship Showers—More Than $20,000 in Scholarship Possibilities

April 10, 2026

April is a busy month for scholarships, and April is also the last month of the semester.

Consider breaking down scholarship applications into bite size pieces, such as 5-, 10-, or 25- minute tasks.

Or if you find yourself working better by time-boxing, set aside sessions of 1 1/2 -3 hours to focus on a scholarship and working on the steps necessary to finish the tasks.

Here are several scholarships that TSU students and potential students should consider.

Tennessee State University Foundation Scholarship are Open!!!

https://tnstate.academicworks.com/opportunities

TSU Foundation Scholarships

The Tennessee State University Foundation Scholarships are open, and only TSU students (and in some cases, those soon to be) can apply for Foundation scholarships.  

For an overview of the different TSU scholarships, click the link above.

Once you have reviewed some of the scholarship opportunities, you can use your TSU username and password to complete the General Application:  https://tnstate.academicworks.com/users/sign_in

As you complete the General Application, save as you go along. Don’t worry if you don’t finish. You can come back to finish later.

Also, once you have completed the General Application, you will see what scholarships you might be qualified for, but some of the scholarships may require additional information, such as 250 word statement of your goals or confirmation of where you live.

How to Make Your TSU University Foundation Application Stand Out         

  • Scholarship funding is limited, so you want your scholarship application to stand out and highlight what makes you unique and different.
  • Often students just list brief information in what they do. This will severely put you at a disadvantage to those students who go into more detail.
  • Think of what you are doing now and what you did in high school and make a list. You will remember things as you go along, and you can add these to your application.
  • Identify positions (volunteer, president, co-founder, vice-president, founder, etc.)
  • Identify organizations, including briefly what the organization does or is
  • Identify responsibilities or activities you did for that organization and go into brief but “telling” detail
  • If you held responsibilities that called upon leadership skills, highlight them.
  • You want to make sure your grammar and punctuation are consistent and correct.
  • You can save and go back to your application, as necessary.
  • Once you submit your application, you can then start applying to separate scholarships for which you are qualified. Some of these require answering questions to make sure you are qualified for that particular scholarship or writing a brief essay.

Qualifying for a TSU Foundation scholarship does not guarantee you will receive the scholarship.

Qualifying for a TSU Foundation scholarship does not guarantee you will receive the scholarship.

Several TSU students have set up multiple appointments with writing consultants in the TSU Writing Center to review their applications as they build them, and some have successfully received scholarships from the TSU Foundation.

Up to $5,000 Frame Your Future Scholarship, Deadline: April 15!!!!

Have fun with this scholarship and create a poem, a piece of artwork, a video, an essay, something that creatively shows what you hope to achieve in your life after college.
