Unfortunately, these scholarships are hard to come by, and they're even more difficult to win. Though many schools offer full-ride or full-tuition scholarships, there are also a handful of scholarships out there—run by independent organizations and even the government—that you **can use at almost any school.** Read on to learn about some of the most highly sought-after scholarships in the country.   ## What Is a Full-Ride Scholarship? A full-ride scholarship is the unicorn of scholarships. It's estimated that**[fewer than 20,000 students per year](https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/10/16/odds-your-child-getting-full-ride-college-are-low/) will manage to get one of these scholarships**—that's less than 1 percent of the students who will enroll in college! By far, the vast majority of these scholarships come from universities and colleges that are trying to attract top students to their campuses. Full-ride scholarships from private organizations that you can use at any school are even more rare. These scholarships cover not just tuition but also additional expenses, such as room and board, travel costs, and textbooks.   ## Who Should Apply For These Scholarships? High school students who think they are the cream of the crop should apply for the scholarships listed below. You'll see that some of them have specific requirements, such as race or location, whereas others are open to anyone. **You should be at [the top of your class](https://blog.prepscholar.com/what-is-class-rank-why-is-it-important)** (most of these scholarships are looking for students in the top 10 percent) and have **[high test scores](https://blog.prepscholar.com/how-to-get-a-perfect-sat-score-by-a-2400-sat-scorer).** You should also have specific, strong examples of your [leadership skills, community involvement, and excellent characte](https://blog.prepscholar.com/what-looks-good-on-a-college-application)r. Unsurprisingly, most of these scholarship applications will require you to do some writing, [so make sure you're a strong writer](https://blog.prepscholar.com/how-to-write-a-college-essay), too. Finally, expect to need[top-notch letters of recommendation](https://blog.prepscholar.com/4-amazing-recommendation-letter-samples) from multiple sources.   ![body\_eggs-3](https://360031.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/360031/hubfs/body_eggs-3.jpg?width=400&name=body_eggs-3.jpg "body_eggs-3")   ## Top Advice for Winning a Full-Ride Scholarship **Don't put all your eggs in one basket.** Even if you have the attributes mentioned above, there are going to be a lot of other students out there who have done just as well as you have. There are a lot more great students than there are full-ride scholarships, so you're not going to get one unless you're really lucky. You'll have a much better chance of winning scholarship money if you don't try to get it all in one go. Think about your strengths, what you want to pursue in college, and [your favorite activities](https://blog.prepscholar.com/list-of-extracurricular-activities-examples), and go out and find several smaller scholarships to apply to. Though the payoff won't be one lump sum, you'll have much less competition and a far higher chance of success.   ## 11 Fantastic Full-Ride Scholarships This list includes a dozen full-ride scholarships—offered by both private companies and the government—that you can use for many different schools. Since full-ride scholarships are so rare, I've **also included scholarships that are *not* full rides but have a high-enough award amount that they could easily cover tuition and fees at many universities.**   ![body\_golf](https://360031.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/360031/body_golf.jpg)   ### [Evans Caddie Scholarship](https://www.wgaesf.org/a-life-changing-opportunity/applying-evans-scholarship) This may be one of the [weirdest scholarships](https://blog.prepscholar.com/complete-list-weirdest-scholarships-you-can-win) you'll come across!
