We currently list verified state-scoped scholarships in 1 state, alongside 23 national awards open to students anywhere in the United States.
If your state is not listed, it means we have not yet verified an award scoped to it. We would rather show you nothing than send you to a dead link, so we leave those states out until we have confirmed something real. Start with the national awards, and check your school's financial aid office and local community foundation, which rarely publish in the places aggregators can crawl.

Why state scholarships are worth your time
A national award like the Coca-Cola Scholars Program draws tens of thousands of applicants for a few dozen places. A scholarship restricted to students at campuses within one state, or one metro area, might draw a few hundred. The hours you spend on an application go a great deal further when the pool is smaller.
The same logic applies to awards tied to a specific field of study, a specific institution, or a specific employer. Narrow criteria are an advantage, not an obstacle, whenever you happen to meet them.
