Scholarship Basics
Local Scholarships will be listed on this website.

Scholarships are awarded based on a wide array of criteria: grades, extracurricular activities, volunteer hours recognition's & awards, financial need, random drawings, career choices- just to name a few. If you have any questions, just ask.
