Types of Scholarships 2026 | The College Monk

Many types of scholarships are available based on demographics. Just think, how do you identify yourself? What are your traits? Are you a first-generation college student? Do you have any diseases or disabilities? Is anyone in your family in the military? Each of these traits are part of your identity and many organizations offer awards to students just for possessing one or more special traits.
