This site will be updated as we receive new scholarship information and scholarships will remain on the site as long as the application deadline has not passed.
***IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Some colleges and universities are still test optional and are waiving SAT/ACT requirements for admissions; HOWEVER, most scholarships still require an ACT or SAT score as a qualification for eligibility.Â

Scholarships that are offered to students in our area. That could mean specifically Dinwiddie students or more a little more broadly as in only the students in the state of Virginia. These scholarships have a smaller applicant pool, so you are much more likely to be awarded it if you meet the criteria. Local community members in Dinwiddie review these applications, so be sure to take your time with these and don't leave out any information that they ask for.
Scholarships that are offered to students nationwide. The applicant pool is very large, so it is a little harder to win one of these. It is a good idea to apply to as many as these as possible, but don't spend TOO much time perfecting each application and essay. Try to write one essay that can be applicable to multiple, so that you do not burn yourself out applying to these ones.
The list of websites I made that help find scholarships for you. Many of them ask you to create a profile, and based on the information that you provide it will match scholarships that have criteria that match your profile. Note: many of the scholarships that they match you with typically are national scholarships.
