For a listing of local scholarships, click on "College" >"Scholarship Matching" to view opportunities.
Local scholarships will be listed under "District-Posted" as they are received from community donors.
When applying for scholarships, you should allot 50 to 60 hours towards researching available scholarships and completing required application materials.
Pay attention to application requirements and deadlines.
Have a teacher or counselor look over your essay or personal statement.
Send a thank you cover with your application materials.
Place all materials in a binder or cover so they look neat and professional.
Do not invest more than a postage stamp to get information about scholarships.
Never give anyone your financial information (credit card numbers or bank account numbers).
Nobody can guarantee that you will “win” a scholarship or guarantee “high success rates”.
Very little scholarship money goes “unclaimed” and everyone has access to the same information.
You cannot be selected by a National Foundation or be a “finalist” for a scholarship that you did not apply for.
