When should I start applying for scholarships? When is it too late to apply for scholarships? Our mantra is simple: It’s never too early or too late to apply for scholarships. If you can believe it, there are scholarships that you can win as early as seventh grade! On the other hand, you also don’t want to stop applying for scholarships just because you graduated from high school. You can continue to apply for scholarships throughout your time in college or graduate school.
