It seems that most scholarship links online point to help for college students, not for people who want to get their GED.
But I did find some help and at least one scholarship for GED students - one is in Kentucky and the other in Oregon. Just scroll down for these links and more.
I hoped to find more scholarships out there just for GED students. Maybe they are out there. If you now of one, please list it below as a comment.
With or without a scholarship, though, I know that students are wanting to get their GED, and will be trying hard to get it, whether or not they need to spend money to do it or not.
These can be students going back to school after a break, or students who for one reason or another need to complete requirements to get their GED. GED stands for General Equivalency Diploma. What is also great is that colleges are accepting these diplomas more than ever, especially with the rise of homeschooling.
Luckily, you probably will not need a scholarship to go to a GED class or take GED courses online or with the help of classes on TV, because states want their people to have a high school diploma. Students with a GED diploma can go on to college, or get better jobs.
But some colleges do offer scholarships later on, for students who want to go to college. These scholarships are just for students with a GED. So it's in the student's best interest to go ahead and get their GED in many ways.
