Hello MamJarra Loum,
It's wonderful that you're planning ahead for your university education! Typically scholarships are opened a year before they can be availed, but here are a few bachelor's scholarships for 2026. As you are planning for 2026, here are some steps I would suggest you take apart from academics to prepare for a scholarship in 2026: make sure you are an avid participant in Extracurricular Activities and showcase your leadership and volunteering, develop specific skills that might help with your degree; these steps better your overall portfolio and help in raising your chances of availing a scholarship and studying at a good university. By taking these steps, you'll be well-prepared to apply for scholarships when the time comes in 2026. Also make sure you are always up to date with any new scholarships(you can always refer to the above link).In the meantime, I would suggest you also go through High/Secondary School scholarships to reduce your financial burden for your high school too. Personalize your filters with discernment, accordingly enrolling in scholarships for which you genuinely qualify. It's crucial to carefully assess the eligibility criteria to optimize your chances of obtaining the scholarship. Remember, it's never too early to start preparing for your university education and seeking scholarships. If you have specific preferences or details to share, I can provide more targeted advice.
