Please be advised that updates are being made for the Spring 2019 scholarship season as the donors send updates Here are some tips on how to utilize this site:- The scholarships listed on this site are state-wide and national.
- These applications should be turned in to the organization offering the award, not to Cassville High School.
- These scholarships can be found in detail on the left sidebar in alphabetical order.
- I am updating them as I hear from the donors, yet many of them won't be updated until after January. For your convenience, scholarships updated for 2019 have their deadlines in purple. Please be advised, if a scholarship has the note "Awaiting 2019 updates from donor" you can review the material but don't use old application materials or deadlines until they appear in purple. I felt it was better for you to see the information from last year instead of removing it so you can get a peek of what is ahead.
- Local scholarships specific to Cassville become available on March 4th, 2019. Information will be delivered in a class meeting, but local scholarships will not appear on this website.
