How do you check that these listings are accurate?
Every listing is read off the sponsor's own page before it goes live, and each one records the date it was last checked plus a note saying what was confirmed. Anything a sponsor does not publish, such as an award amount or a GPA floor, is left blank rather than guessed. Listings we cannot verify are held back rather than published.
Can I apply for national scholarships as well as Washington, D.C. ones?
Yes. State-scoped awards are worth prioritising because the applicant pool is far smaller, but nothing stops you applying for national awards at the same time. Most students should do both. Our full catalog lists every national award we have verified alongside these Washington, D.C. ones.
