What is the largest local scholarship in Pinellas County?
The Ryan Wells Foundation Scholarship, from The Ryan Wells Foundation, at $7,143. It is restricted to this area rather than open nationally, so the applicant pool is a fraction of the size.
Are there need-based scholarships in Pinellas County?
7 of the 28 awards we list state that they consider financial need. Where a sponsor does not say, we leave the field blank rather than assume.
Why apply for local scholarships instead of national ones?
