Paying for college generally comes from a variety of sources. School scholarships and grants, state grants, federal grants, federal loans, private loans, and savings. Scholarships and grants do not need to be repaid while loans do. Most schools also offer payment plan options.

External Scholarships:
Many colleges use ScholarshipUniverse. Students access this directly through a college's website. It allows students to search and apply for both college and external scholarships approved by the school.

Dear Beaumont Counseling Team
My name is Liz Novak, and I am writing to inform you of a scholarship opportunity that may be of interest to Beaumont students.
Over the last seventeen years, the Maltz Museum's Stop the Hate Program has awarded over $1 million in scholarships and grants to both middle school and high school students throughout Northeast Ohio. The program celebrates students who are committed to creating a more accepting, inclusive society by standing up and speaking out against bias and bigotry.
Here are some key details regarding the scholarship:
Scholarship Amount: The scholarships for the top ten 11th & 12th grade finalists range from $1,000 to $20,000.
Eligibility: Any 6th-12th grade student can apply if there are a resident of one of the following counties: Ashland, Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Erie, Geauga, Huron, Lake, Lorain, Mahoning, Medina, Portage, Stark, Summit, Trumbull, and Wayne.
Submission & Deadlines: In 500 words or less, students are asked to pen a personal essay about bias they have witnessed, experienced, or learned about, then share what they have done or will do in response. Students can find the full prompt online here: https://www.maltzmuseum.org/learn/stop-the-hate-contest/ *The deadline for 11th-12th grade students is Thursday, January 16, 2025. All essays can be submitted online here: https://www.maltzmuseum.org/stop-the-hate-essay-contest-entry-form/
Award Announcement: Essays will be read and scored anonymously through a series of judging cycles. The awards will be publicly announced the evening of Thursday, April 3, 2024, at our in-person awards ceremony (time, location, and more details to come).
We will be hosting a FREE Stop the Hate Kick Off next week on Wednesday, September 11th from 5pm to 7pm at the Maltz Museum where we will share more information with teachers, students, and parents. Please feel free to share with potential students and their families. Folks can register for this FREE program via our website at: https://www.maltzmuseum.org/events/stop-the-hate-open-house/.
