Seniors: Everyone who is planning on continuing their education after graduation should also be considering the high cost of tuition, fees, books, room, and board that goes along with college. One way to help with the cost of college is scholarships. To increase your chances of receiving a scholarship, apply for as many as you can!
Be thinking of all activities you have been involved in while in school (the more, the better), and also, if you haven't already been involved in your community service projects- now is a great time!! Students involved in community service projects have a much greater chance of getting a scholarship than those who haven't.
Seniors are encouraged to visit Mrs. Kiser for any help they might need in navigating the scholarship process. Seniors should also regularly check our Senior Google Classroom page for updated scholarship information.
Resources
SCHOLARSHIPS come from a variety of sources, including the college you plan to attend. Be sure to fill out the scholarship application (if required) when you complete your application for admission. Scholarships are awarded based on merit and/or need. Money is typically distributed quickly, so we strongly encourage you to apply sooner rather than later.
Here are a few websites to look for scholarship opportunities:
