----------
It’s extremely easy to get free money for college if you know where to look but there are a lot of sources out there that want your money and they aren’t really helpful. Watch this video so you don’t have to waste your time and money trying these services out, this is a practical guide for paying for college and graduating debt free.
----------
So what I’m going to do here is I’m going to start with the lowest hanging fruit and by that I mean the easiest free money you can get. So the first thing you should do is get your rich parents to pay for everything. Just kidding, we’re going to assume that you’re poor like I was and your family isn’t going to help you out at all
The first thing you want to do is to go to your highschool guidance counselor and ask about high school scholarships and local scholarships. These are the low hanging fruit of the scholarship world and if you are even a halfway decent student you will end up getting a ton of these by just applying for them. A bunch of these only have a few applicants so you will be a slam dunk for these easy scholarships and the review committee will have to wipe their drool off of your application before presenting you with the check
Like I said before these are the biggest scholarships you will get and oftentimes these will pay for the majority of your tuition so put a priority on finding these, money talks and you have to be a savage here and even if you had your heart set on one school if they don’t offer you enough scholarships you gotta put put an ex through that
The next step is to look for essay contests and the big reason you should look into these is because a lot of the time they aren’t advertised as scholarships but money is money, gnomesaiyan? This one is probably the biggest secret on the list and the least utilized because most high school students are honestly too lazy to write essays. But the secret here is you are going to get basically the same 5-10 essay prompts over and over again and so all you really have to do is take a weekend off and write 5-10 essays then just copy and paste and make little changes here and there when you’re applying to these essay contests.
There is way less competition here than normal scholarships because not that many people know about them and one key takeaway here is to just apply to as many of these as you possibly can because a lot of the time they get 0 applicants and you can end up winning 1st, 2nd and 3rd place even if you don’t think you’re qualified.
I know a guy who entered a contest for minorities even though he was as white as paper and he won 1st, 2nd and 3rd place and the only reason I’m saying this is to just illustrate that you should just apply to as many as possible
The next thing you should do is to look into your social and professional network. And by this I mean if you work somewhere check to see if your work offers scholarships, check to see if your parents employer offers scholarships, check your church or mosque or whatever you go to to see if they offer scholarships, check your extended families employers to see if they offer scholarships, you get the idea. This one is another one that’s a low hanging fruit and if you meet the requirements you have a really good chance of getting some great scholarships because noone applies for these

Why doesn't this have more views, god bless you Shane.
Thanks a lot Will
@@ShaneHummus No, seriously. I ask myself the same question everytime I watch your videos. Why TF dont you have more views?
At least we will have less competition for those scholarships...
Shane Hummus - The Success GPS I just saw this video now in the summer of my senior year. Am I too late?
Cause we gotta gatekeep this
How about tips for free money/scholarships geared towards working adults starting college later in life? Thanks for the great content!
Yes please!
I'd highly recommend going to a community college. You can go for basically free.
@@sbombfitness yes but how would you pay for cost of living
How about an older graduate going to college ?
@@captenmurica8843 you're an older adult you should have the money for it, community college is very VERY cheap
Students have to do what others are too lazy to do and it's just to apply for grants and competitions.
It's easy money 😁
So true! I applied via FAFSA and received a B-On Time Loan (I didn’t have to pay it back as long as I maintained a b average GPA) and when I submitted my application to the school their financial aid office mailed me back for a federal grant that only require I take at least 1 class a semester (including summer) and not get less than a D. The B on time covered 7k a year and the other covered like 80% of the classes price. I also applied to several scholarships via the schools website, like STEM. Also as I was in FFA in high school I had that as well. Band has scholarship, there are a lot to choose from, just sometimes I think people don’t know where to look.
Thanks for your inputs Richard. I'm glad that worked pretty well for you. I could only wish I did the same thing before.
2:20 time stamp for the actual tips
I love how methodical your video is. You don’t just list opportunities, but put them in the order you think is best for your audience to walk through.
And I like the running tab as you go through the different opportunities.
Very engaging and well done. Thanks!
Omggg this is officially my favorite channel!! I am about to start my junior year in September...so looks like I better start writing my essays, instead of binge watching all your videos
Yay! Thank you!
I’m binging this channel bc I have so much anxiety about the money aspect of college
Hey Floof bean!!! Stay tuned I got more
been waiting for a topic like this.. Need to show it to my son lol
Wow! Awesome man! I have to share this to my cousin. He is going to be a freshman soon and also very independent. This video will be very helpful. Thanks Shane
Sweet!
I’m showing this to my daughter! So good tips! 😃
Perfect!
Such an underrated video... do you have any specific websites to find essay competitions that are very lowkey and overlooked?
Going to make a video about that Road Warrya. Stay tuned =)
Fall marks my junior year of college 😭 Debt-free for now but I’m definitely going to apply like crazy, I’m expecting about $33,000 in debt
Hi Anri.. Thanks for being here.. My only advise is, choose one that is actually worth it. That's all! Good luck in everything
@Sophia Smith how does that work?
This is amazing, thank you for your hard work 💕
Thanks a lot Miss W
Haha isn’t it the worst when you film a whole video (or think you film a whole video) and end up not getting any of it 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ but MAN! 5 figures in scholarships that is insane! I just graduated in the spring of 2019 and escaped with a decent amount of debt but nothing I can’t handle 😎 thanks for your perspective - Got me subbed
Best to minimize the loans as much as possible! Thanks man
You mentioned essay contests. Do you just Google these or are there specific websites you can find these on, or will they be available though the University you are attending?
Wow! This video is super relatable to me, thank you!!!!
Glad I could help!
Nice work Shane! 👍
Yee3eeeeeee
Great video man keep doing the good work
Thanks a lot kashif
Honestly your videos are genius!
Thanks a lot mikrokosmos
Thanks for the advice. Definitly gonna do this and will update on how much I get this Fall.
Please do! Cheers!
How much?
Am a happy mum.. to a year 10 child. Thank you.
Welcome to my channel Being Inebi
Nice! I tried to when I was going to school. Just gave up after awhile. Ended up with $21,000 in student loans.
That's not too bad
I showed it to my nephew and niece..
A very useful and practical content
Much practical, very advice
Thank you!
@Shane Hummus; Your videos are the bomb! You should have been my college advisor, when I was trying to figure out what path to take. Question: In the top five career video, do you think these would apply to someone that will be retiring soon and doing a career change?
Hi Tonya, thank you and I appreciate the comment more than you know! That's a tough question to answer without more info but in general just make sure that whatever you choose to go into has some demand, or if it doesn't and you purely go for passion, make sure you're prepared to live frugally.
The biggest thing is to just accurately figure out three things: What are you good at, what do you enjoy and what can you actually make decent money from. Do research on the internet and then take the next step of talking to people that are actually doing those things right now to get an accurate idea of whether it's a good idea or not.
Hope this helps! Let me know if I can help any more :)
Thank you for such good info, Shane, shared.
Love it, thanks George!
I don't even go to school in the U.S but I'm going to gently tap the like button because this will be some mad useful content for a lot of people
In my second year right now at community college, and I've paid negative tuition so far, cuz they give me so many scholarships, even more than my tuition. I'm gonna transfer to a 4-year university next year.
Do you have any recomendations for finding a collage for minoritys?
Minority?
Nice video Shane
Thanks Pusa! Glad you enjoyed!
Make a video on military grant please
I'll look in to that. Thanks for the suggestion Mamoud Baimba Kamara
Hey Shane!! I loved this video, it was super helpful! I notice you were really addressing the high school population, which is great, but would you recommend anything different for someone starting college well after high school or going back to college? Maybe this is another video idea? :)
Thanks Shane that's very helpful
So now I know where to go for a grant. Would you make a video on how Please? Winning proposals
Glen Begin thanks for your comment. Sure I can make one but it's going to be in queue.. Got a lot of request to do business degree tier list.
Great Vedios sir I'm glad I found your Vedios before I hit 21...
Hey Shane! I have a question, do most scholarships you mentioned in this video apply for 4 year schools or would this work for community college applicants? It seems like you have to go to a 4 year school to get the massive networking and connections/opportunities for scholarships and whatnot. And yes, I am currently attending CC
Hey wtf jyy, thanks for watching.. You can actually check the description. Good luck =)
...military
Post 9/11 GI bill pays 100% for a 4 year program at most universities. Also pays an allowance for housing based on where you live, so you can get payed like you're working but you're just going to school. Also training in your military occupation which can sometimes directly transfer to a decent/higher pay civilian job for free plus 4 years of outside experience before moving straight to college. And $1000/qt for textbooks.
But super good info tho ty
Thanks for sharing that
@@ShaneHummus Yeah np brother, it's a good opportunity for sure. Thanks for all the good videos. Super helpful now that I'm off active duty I'm trying to find out something to do with myself! Just saw that you uploaded your military video, bout to go check that out! Again good stuff man appreciate you.
Very ethical
Try keeping your glasses off while filming cuz the reflection in them makes your camera lose focus sometimes... maybe
I fixed that on my recent videos
@@ShaneHummus Yeah I've noticed. Hey man props to you for replying to comments on even older videos. that's really commendable.
Can you make a video or give advice for people who are out of high school, that are trying to apply for scholarships. To go back to school. 🙏
So useful. Most badass youtuber hahaha. He responds to every comments, Thats wassup!
Thanks for appreciating that 😁
Thank you this really help me sir
You are welcome my brother
Thank you!!!
I should have known about this
It's always too later by the time we find out
Please, make a video on grants 🙏💜

This video was really cool!! can you do one about college essays in detail pleasee?
Noted
the thumbnail is fucking hilarious lol
U r a blessing
Do you do any one on one mentoring/help for high school students trying to receive some scholarship money?
Hey Ethan, I have not done mentoring.. I just make free videos to help people.. but who knows, maybe some time in the future, I don't know. Thanks for asking though =)
Where does the money go, like if I apply to all these things how can I keep track of everything?
“Summer of your junior year”
I’m starting as a freshman
Good luck
HOW CAN WE FIND THESE ESSAY CONTESTSSSSS???? this vid is amazing tho
Can you do an international version
I was lucky to get a full scholarship for grad school: tuition, stipend and all. Great times, but if I could do it again I'd study something else. Have you done a video about high paying part-time jobs for college students? Maybe stuff like Pilates instructing, golf caddying, code writing-how would they work as a 10-20-hour a week gig alongside full time university studies, if they do at all?
What a great timing.. I have one scheduled for today.. "The best jobs for teens High paying part time jobs" Will be aired 3:45pm EST 😁
Shane, love the video. I do have a specific request for a video about the interplay between veteran scholarships (GI Bill, VR&E) and outside scholarships (like those from fastweb or larger scholarships like Tillman). Basically what I’m wondering is if you get a bunch of these small outside scholarships if you’ll be able to pocket them if your GI Bill or VRE covers it or if it simply cuts into what that program pays because it pays the school not the student. I’ve tried reaching out to student veterans but most are just on the GI Bill or VRE so they didn’t even attempt scholarships.
Thanks
Next Video How you can go into business without going into debt or exchanging equity
Do ypu think that this applies to South African schools as well? And what if you are already in you are university, is it too late?
How about scholarships for international students?
What about scholarship displacement though? External scholarships may have a detrimental effect in financial aid. Can it be a waste of time to apply for external scholarships if you will lose financial aid anyway?
I got a grant for 92% of tuition and still need money 😭 mostly because of living costs
community college is a great place to start your education.
👌
Can you make a scholarship video for international students. Especially if you get into top college as they are expensive.
I'm a senior and have already applied to a school, is it too late?? Thanks for the video but I'm starting to panic 😅 I haven't really applied to anything
Good luck!!
Idk if anybody will see this comment but hopefully someone will. I have two questions regarding scholarships:
1. Once you win the scholarship money, how do you get it? Do you make a college fund account somewhere and then the organization will deposit the money there? How do you get the money?
2. If we have extra money left over from scholarships, what can we do with that money? Can I spend it on the ps5? Can I spend it on some hookers and cocaine?
Depends, sometimes it will go directly towards tuition and other times you might get a check. With a check you can technically do whatever you want lol
You can just rob a bank or win the lottery
Thanks bae
Can you do a video of how to get all your dept college and more put you still got to pay a fee but ya I remember it orange background
Noted
NOW THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF THUMBNAIL FACE.
Shane: Start early
Me *a rising sophomore with a bad problem with perfectionism*: I’m 3 universes, 2 dimensions, and 1000 light years ahead of you bud 🏃🏾♂️💨
Where do you find essay contests?
Where can you see the 5 to 10 top essay prompts?
It's not on the video?
what should i do if i have completed my high school in India, though I'm an American citizen? There are no scholarship programs at high school here
Will I still hv a great chance at winning these scholarships in the summer of between junior and senior year/ summer before the senior year?
Can you do a video about college students applying for scholarships! Is it the same process? Great stuff, thank you so much.
Noted Abby
where do I apply or find essay contests?
Where do you find the essay contests?
Yes make a video on grants!!
Already did
Can someone give me links to the essay competitions please
Anyone?
God bless your face 🎉🎉🎉
I’m a high school freshman, can I start doing this stuff now? If not when should I start.
Do the grant video!
Should I try these options even though I'm already in college?
Why not
Thank you for this awesome video. a few questions
1. Are most of the scholarship grants to be used over the 4 years like the one you mentioned in step 1 ($10k) applied through local school?
2. If you received a scholarship, but decide to take a gap year, do you lose it and have to reapply for it the following year?
3. I can’t find your side-hustle job video during college you mentioned you were gonna link.
Again, thank you 😊
What about being apart of a EOP / HEOP programs? Do you think those are beneficial? I'm a freshman in college apart of the eop program
It could be beneficial grandesparza just research further in to it.
Is it too late to do all of this as a freshman in college?
Never too late! Just make sure you apply to the scholarships that fit you. If you need to be a hs student it won't work, but find some for college students and boom
Nope, start working on them now. Good luck
Where can I find the essay contests that are legit
Sir, I would request you to make a video on grants
Already uploaded
I really really wish I had your videos in 2013 before I graduated high school
Thanks for watching Tyler
Can you do Scholarships over the summer while in college?
Hi Shane, do you know if this process can be beneficial for graduate school as well? I want to attend Nursing Masters programs to become an NP, as they are around 60k in tuition.
Do you have a list of grants and scholarships you applied for? Could you share it with us?
Where can i find those essay contest?
Stay tuned for that
Yes I’m a junior…in college…

Can you get any scholarships when you are in the middle of college or only before you start college?
I have a quick question. What happens to the additional scholarships you get if you already got a full ride to a college or received enough scholarships for you college to be paid off? Do you get to keep the additional money?
