Financial Aid & Scholarships

The first stop for scholarships should be the institutions to which your student is applying for admission.  Each College and University does their financial aid and scholarship applications and offers differently, so it is always best to ask questions of the Financial Aid offices at the prospective schools.  Below you will you find additional information that will help you as you make plans for the future.

Check out the CPHS College and Career Center page for Financial Aid information and tips!  

Under the Colleges tab in Naviance, there is a section devoted specifically to scholarships.  You will need to sift through the many opportunities, but there are many right at your fingertips.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the form you need to fill out to get any financial aid from the federal government to help pay for college.
