Having a hard time picking a university that is in your budget?
Don’t know where to start with Finding Scholarships?
In America, universities are super expensive, and it may sway you away from trying to apply to your favorite colleges.
What are your options?
SOS is here to help you find scholarships and make your life a whole lot easier. Don’t just apply to one scholarship, APPLY TO A TON and get as much money as you can so that you and your parents won’t have to stress about student debt.
It’s not easy but if you start early and get all your ducks in a row, it will make a difference.
For me, I applied to 6 scholarships and won 3 of them. This ate away from the massive tuition at the University of Tampa. For one year I was looking at about 42,000 dollars. My first year, I won 10,000, 1,000-, and 500-dollars scholarships.
Put that together with my academic scholarship and soccer scholarship and I paid little to nothing my first year.
SOS is here to make finding scholarships less of a task within your stressful high school life.

This scholarship through WAGS is one of the best ones I have ever seen offered for girl players! They offer four 10,000-dollar scholarships to players who play in their tournament! I won this scholarship when I was 17. This organization is absolutely amazing, and you should check them out!
