As scholarships come out, they will be posted here (see below attachments). There are some sites, such as Fastweb that allow you to search for scholarships on your own. Searching will take a lot of time, so try to narrow it down to things that are specific to you (see handout). As local scholarship information becomes available, due dates will be posted as well, but it is up to you to check the websites, the requirements, and due dates. If you are applying to colleges, be sure to ask them what scholarships and financial aid options they offer. Many colleges have scholarships that are available to students coming to their school - so ask. Again, the resource below is a great place to start - Good luck!

Below (at the bottom of this page) is a file for the California State retirees Scholarship for seniors.

There are two important things to do for financial aid and scholarships - The FAFSA and the Cal Grant GPA form:

The FAFSA is a government database that colleges and universities access to find out the financial need of their students. It will be available on-line Oct. 1st and must be completed and submitted by each student no later than March 2nd. The earlier students fill this out and submit, the better. The FAFSA is a collection point of basic family financial information. Please plan to attend our Financial Aid night in the Fall for assistance with this process.

The Cal Grant GPA Verification form has been a part of senior parent night, and it must be signed in order for us to release information. You will be contacted if you have not signed the release. For more information, visit the sites below -
