LOCAL SCHOLARSHIPS - Scholarship information will start to come in during January 2025. When the scholarships start to come in, the LOCAL SCHOLARSHIP link will become available. Our generous community offers many scholarships to Huntley High School students. The scholarships are added to this list as they come to our attention.
MONEY FROM THE COLLEGE - The LARGEST amount of money you will get in scholarship money will come from the college itself.

Automatic Scholarships are those that you are automatically considered for when you apply - KNOW THE DEADLINES
Competitive Scholarships are those that will have a separate application. It depends on the college, but some of these applications are due at the same time as your admission application and some are submitted after you have been accepted.

Search: City, State, Gender, Religion, Career interest(s), Ethnicity, Hobbies, family background, abilities, disabilities, parental background, sexual orientation, economic background, and other things like this you can think of. Then get organized! Keep track of scholarships you find in categories such as Individual Philanthropists, Fraternities and Sororities, Professional and Trade associations, corporations, local community organizations, churches, foundations etc. START SEARCHING NOW!

SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION TIPS
Teachers-please use school letterhead, what subject taught to the student/or position held, and a signature.
If a letter of recommendation is given out in the fall for college applications, please change the letter for scholarship application recommendation. It’s probably valuable to tell the student to come back later in the winter/spring for particular scholarship recommendations. It is rewarding to read the scholarship recommendations particularly addressed to the specific scholarship!
Students-please have computer generated responses. It has become very difficult to read those in pencil or pen. Please give your teachers time to give you good letters of recommendation. It is important to be able to see a match or connection between staff selected and future career choices whenever available. It was extremely easy to view activities in school and out when identified by years. Please know the difference between official and not official transcripts. For our scholarship, we need the 7th semester transcript which should then include all 7 semesters of courses and grades. It is your responsibility to make sure all materials are gathered and posted by the posted deadlines. Most important…apply for all scholarships that you are eligible for! Your odds are very good with the wonderful local scholarships being given out. Organizations want to help you financially in pursuit of further education/training.
