SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION

For your convenience, you will find scholarship and other financial opportunities listed in the sections below. Please visit this page often as we will make on-going updates whenever we receive new information.

Three Types of Scholarships:

• State & Regional Scholarships and Deadlines
• Local Scholarships
  • We will make applications for these scholarships available to seniors at the end of the third quarter. The application for local scholarships will list the deadline. This deadline is important and will not be flexible so that local agencies will have time to meet with their boards and make scholarship decisions. Seniors, please plan ahead or enlist the help of family and friends to help you make deadlines regardless of athletic events, vacations, or any other planned or unplanned events.
