False.

Many scholarships are not based solely on top academic grades. Awards exist for financial need, community service, leadership, athletics, artistic or technical talent, specific majors or careers, demographic groups, first-generation students, employer or local-organization affiliation, and essay/contest winners. Some have modest GPA requirements but focus on other qualities.

Tip: Search widely (school counselor, college financial aid office, local foundations, scholarship sites like Fastweb or College Board), apply to many, and tailor essays to the scholarship’s criteria.
