Many scholarships and grants are offered by private sources, such as fraternal and religious organizations, labor unions, professional associations, social groups, and ethnic associations.

Because they are private and therefore not administered by Drexel, it is up to students to research and apply for them on their own. The best place to start researching is with any organization that the students or a family member has an affiliation with (such as a students or parents' employer, church, or religious organization). Current high school students should contact their guidance office for information on local scholarships.

Much of the research will involve using the Internet. It is important to be careful when reviewing information online. Below are several scholarship search engines that are free:

• College Board Scholarship Search
• Fastweb
• FinAid

The above list of scholarship resources is not exhaustive; there may be additional scholarships available outside of this list for which students or prospective students may be eligible. Students and prospective students are invited to contact the Drexel Central for suggested search terms and ways to search the Internet /other resources to locate additional opportunities.

Scholly App

Created by Drexel University students, Scholly is a mobile app for Apple and Android mobile devices that gives students a fast and simple way to find scholarships for college. Scholly streamlines the scholarship search process by using eight parameters such as grade, state, and GPA to instantly match students with scholarships they may qualify for. The app can be downloaded online for a small fee.

Information about the application can be found on the Scholly website.

Please note: If a student or prospective student locates a scholarship that is not listed on the University's website on their own through the suggested search terms provided by Drexel Central, such an act does not suggest that the University is providing approval/endorsement of such scholarships.

Any outside funding received must be taken into account when eligibility is determined for need-based financial aid. If offered funding from a source outside the University, students must submit copies of the notification letter to Drexel Central. Outside funding may result in a change to the student's eligibility for the overall student aid package. The Office of Financial Aid will ensure that receipt of any outside scholarship does not result in the student receiving aid from all sources that exceeds their cost of attendance.
