* Goodwin University has no further information about these scholarship opportunities. Please visit the websites and contact the organizations directly for more information. Some scholarship search engines will share the information you supply to its marketing partners. Some will give you an “opt-out” option, some will not.

Remember: Legitimate scholarships do not charge a fee to apply. They do not call on the phone, or send “award letters” in the mail, and they never ask for your credit card information.
