These 54 open scholarships list a top award of $5,000 to $9,999, based on the amount each sponsor publishes on its official page. The next deadline is Nov 30, 2026. Ranges are placed by their top amount, and many awards go to only a few winners, so read the rules on each official page.

Placement uses the amount on each listing as of its “last verified” date. Listings whose amount varies or isn’t published aren’t placed in any tier, so they appear only in the full list.
