As the costs of post-secondary training and education can be prohibitive to an individual seeking further education, the school counseling department encourages all students and families to apply for scholarships EARLY and OFTEN to assist with tuition.   The following resources have been developed to assist in locating scholarship opportunities for which a student may be eligible to apply. 

The Scholarship Committee looks forward to pointing you towards scholarship.  The "real work" is up to you to apply and follow through with the requested transcripts, essays, etc.  YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
