Scholarships

Scholarship Information

We understand that paying for college is not easy. There are many scholarships available to students for some extra financial aid. Your best resource is to meet with your College & Career Information Coordinator. They will help guide you in your search for scholarships and answer any questions you may have. I have included a list of scholarship links and applications below for your convenience.

**REMEMBER - When searching, it is very important to read all scholarship requirements carefully to determine if you are eligible. You do not want to put time and effort into completing an application for a scholarship that you are not eligible to win. 

Monitor and visit this page periodically as Ms. Davis updates and adds scholarships regularly!

Also, keep in mind that some scholarship applications may require a letter of recommendation from a teacher or responsible adult. Pay attention to deadlines and give these people at least three weeks to complete this part of the application for you.

After the 'Quarterly Scholarships' below, you will see scholarships organized by month.  When you click on a month, the number in bold is the scholarship's deadline date.  Again, please read scholarship requirements carefully so you know what needs to be turned in and when all application materials are due.  Plan ahead and be organized!  We do not want you to miss any deadlines!!
