All scholarships will be posted here and organized by the date they are due. Please pay close attention to the scholarship criteria, due date, and application requirements. The scholarships posted are for current seniors. If scholarships are open to other grade levels, they will be posted to that grade level's Counseling Center Google Classroom.
For all scholarships, it is very important that you abide by the deadlines. You may be required to turn in your application or request a transcript for an application before the organization's posted due date. If that is the case, it will be stated on the scholarship list. This is to ensure all of your materials reach the scholarship organization in time.
Keep checking back for new scholarships throughout the year. It is your responsibility to check the list regularly to ensure you do not miss out on any scholarship opportunities.
Procedure for Submitting Scholarship Applications
The details for how to submit each scholarship application will be included on the scholarship list. If there is an online application, you can submit on your own, unless you need an official transcript or other information from your counselor.
If the scholarship requires a paper application, students should drop off completed scholarship applications to the Counseling Center or email scholarship applications as attachments to scholarships@frontiercsd.org by the deadline. In the subject line of the email please include your first and last name and the name of the scholarship. Each scholarship application should be sent in a separate email.
Please make sure to include all the necessary requirements for each scholarship such as essay, letters of recommendation, resume, proof of enrollment, etc. We can print and include transcripts, but the rest is your responsibility. Scholarship applications will be sent to benefactors as received. If you do not include all the required materials in your attachment, it will be up to the benefactor's discretion whether or not you meet their criteria.
