You can get a Pell Grant as an online student. You can even get a Pell Grant for junior college or vocational schooling. The possibilities are endless. As long as your application displays financial aid, you can get some extra money to pay for college. And the best part? It&#8217;s free!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Unique Things to Consider as an Online Student<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>O<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nline degree programs are designed to mimic on-campus degrees as much as possible. There are some elements of distance learning that make it unique though. These unique factors will influence your scholarship search. Consider the following when you look for scholarships for online students:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Non-traditional Semester Structure<\/h3>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1197\" src=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/effective-studying-scholarshipowl.jpg\" alt=\"male student with laptop studying in the university library\" width=\"200\" height=\"152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/effective-studying-scholarshipowl.jpg 450w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/effective-studying-scholarshipowl-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/effective-studying-scholarshipowl-80x61.jpg 80w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/effective-studying-scholarshipowl-320x242.jpg 320w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/effective-studying-scholarshipowl-323x245.jpg 323w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>Online classes are not always set up on traditional semester schedules. You may take one course per month, rather than four courses for four months. This may alter the amount of scholarship money you need to pay for college. Most scholarships are funded over one or two traditional semesters. If your school has a different structure, you will need to find enough scholarships to cover the full span of your education.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Accreditation<\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some online schools are not accredited. Attending one of these schools will limit your access to financial aid. Attending an accredited college or university is a primary requirement for most scholarship programs. Future employers will also consider this when assessing your credentials. You may be better off looking for a similar degree program at an accredited college or university.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Accredited Courses at an Online College<\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attending an accredited university doesn&#8217;t mean you&#8217;re taking accredited courses. This is another factor you need to consider during enrollment. If the school is accredited but the degree\/course is not, it will be difficult to get financial aid.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Lower Cost of Attendance<\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because online schooling is typically less expensive, your cost of attendance may be lower than expected. This is the cap the school sets for your financial aid. Cost of attendance is calculated based on tuition, fees, approximate book\/supply costs, and approximate room and board. If the cost of attendance does not reflect your actual expenses. You need to discuss your options with your financial aid advisor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Financial Aid Disbursement Schedule<\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-252\" src=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/types-of-financial-aid.jpg\" alt=\"mini graduation cap with financial aid money and coins\" width=\"200\" height=\"134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/types-of-financial-aid.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/types-of-financial-aid-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/types-of-financial-aid-1024x688.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/types-of-financial-aid-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/types-of-financial-aid-80x54.jpg 80w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/types-of-financial-aid-320x215.jpg 320w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/types-of-financial-aid-365x245.jpg 365w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/types-of-financial-aid-506x340.jpg 506w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/types-of-financial-aid-670x450.jpg 670w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/types-of-financial-aid-744x500.jpg 744w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>Online colleges may not distribute aid the same as traditional schools. This is especially true for colleges that operate on altered schedules. If you start school in April or May, your financial aid may not kick in until June. Talk to the financial aid office about this before classes start. They may require you to pay your bill before attending class, which would push back your start date.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Degree Classifications<\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your online degree program may have an uncommon name. When applying for scholarships, you may need to include an alternative name for your degree. Instead of Mobile App Development, you may use &#8220;Web Design&#8221; or &#8220;Graphic Design&#8221; to describe your degree. Be mindful of this when you select a major from a drop-down menu. If you are completing a section by hand, use the common degree name and include your actual degree name in parentheses. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Web Design (Mobile App Development)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><b>Can I Get a Scholarship for One Online College Class?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1591 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/26835981_l.jpg\" alt=\"homesickness studying abroad video chat\" width=\"200\" height=\"138\" \/>What if I&#8217;m only taking one or two classes online? Can I still get a scholarship for those? The answer depends on the types of classes you take and the types of awards you apply for. Many scholarships require you to be enrolled in a specific degree. If you are taking classes as a non-degree student, you may not qualify for those awards. If your classes are mostly on campus but some are online, you can still use scholarship money to pay for those. The cost of the online classes will be rolled in with the other courses. Review the scholarship application requirements to understand your options. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What If I Am Attending an Online College in Another Country?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some study abroad scholarships are made for online students. You cannot get all the benefits of studying abroad online, but you can earn a degree from another country. In general, you will need to look for scholarships that can be used outside of the United States. You may also check the country you&#8217;re studying in to find scholarships for foreign students. Furthermore, you can discuss options with your school&#8217;s financial aid office to cover the cost of attendance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Scholarships for Hybrid Degree Programs (Online &amp; On-Campus)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1105\" src=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/scholarship-essay-scholarshipowl.jpg\" alt=\"scholarship essay scholarshipowl\" width=\"200\" height=\"133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/scholarship-essay-scholarshipowl.jpg 940w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/scholarship-essay-scholarshipowl-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/scholarship-essay-scholarshipowl-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/scholarship-essay-scholarshipowl-80x53.jpg 80w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/scholarship-essay-scholarshipowl-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/scholarship-essay-scholarshipowl-368x245.jpg 368w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/scholarship-essay-scholarshipowl-511x340.jpg 511w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/scholarship-essay-scholarshipowl-676x450.jpg 676w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/scholarship-essay-scholarshipowl-751x500.jpg 751w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hybrid degree programs involve some online classes and some online classes.
