SCHOLARSHIPS come from a variety of sources, in addition to the college you plan to attend. Be sure to fill out the scholarship application (if required) when you complete your application for admission. Scholarships are awarded based on merit and/or need. Money is typically distributed quickly, so we strongly encourage you to apply sooner rather than later. Parents, reach out to your work corporations and see if there are any scholarship opportunities that they may provide.
Check this page frequently for updated scholarship opportunities.
