Scholarship Opportunities

[jennagin]

Current OD student here, class of 2023. Does anyone have any recommendations for websites that have scholarship opportunities? A lot of what my school posts are things I am not eligible for yet, just going into my second year. I am a great writer and I have a lot of experience in the field, but basically no clinical experience (thanks, COVID) or research yet. Any suggestions?

I agree they are hard to find.
I remember using this site in high school, unsure now if it yielded anything productive for optometry school: Find College Scholarships | Fastweb

I applied to the scholarships the school told me about (from VSP, AAO, etc), and only found one other on my own.

I can really relate on the situation. When I was in college, I was looking for any scholarship recommendation and I remembered approaching all people that I know that could help. Just keep going and hoping that you'll find soon.
