Financial Aid
The School Counseling Department compiles a list of scholarships available to students. Please visit the scholarship tab on your Naviance account to see the complete list.
Some college specific scholarships require you to be nominated by WHS/your School Counselor. Those more selective limit the number of students who can be nominated from their high school. These scholarships are listed separately and can be found by selecting "Scholarships requiring nomination/endorsement" in the browse by category tab on Naviance. Please note that the deadline to notify your School Counselor that you would like to be nominated is earlier than the college nomination deadline. If selected, your School Counselor will inform you and direct you to next steps.
