LOCAL/ COUNTY /REGIONAL Opportunities:
Applications for local, county, and regional scholarships are received periodically in the Counseling Office, generally between January and June. All seniors are strongly encouraged to apply for these scholarships because the applicant pools are relatively limited, greatly improving the odds of winning.
 
As each scholarship is received, it will be posted on the school website under Scholarship Information. All Seniors and their parents will also be sent a ParentSquare informing them when a new scholarship is posted. ** Click the link above to see all scholarships that are available right now **
 
All applicants must make certain to adhere to stated filing deadlines. If the application requires documentation from the Counseling Office, (transcripts, recommendations, etc.), the application should be turned into the office at least one school week prior to the filing deadline.

There are over one hundred local scholarships that become available between January and June.

Keep in mind that when searching for scholarships, distinguishing between merit-based and non-merit-based will narrow your field, and provide more options to students who wish to receive aid for reasons other than academic performance.

The use of the Internet will help aid students in their search for college funding.

COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS
College Scholarships are monies awarded to students by individual colleges and universities. These awards may be based on academic merit as determined by high school transcripts, special talents, or financial need. Many colleges use the information on the FAFSA in awarding scholarships. Students should contact the financial aid offices of schools they are considering to inquire about scholarships and aid packages.
