Scholarship Information
Scholarships provide money that can help students pay for their college education. Different from loans, scholarships provide money that students and their families never have to pay back. Some scholarships are provided by private organizations while others are provided by colleges and universities.
Scholarships are awarded to students who meet a variety of criteria, such as students and families with limited financial resources; students who have pursued rigorous coursework while in high school and earned high grades and high SAT scores; students with special talents such as athletic or artistic ability; or students who have extensive volunteer experience or who are planning to enter certain careers. Students can maximize their chances of qualifying for scholarships by taking challenging classes (including honors and advanced placement), earning good grades, maximizing SAT and ACT scores by preparation and practice, and getting involved in extracurricular activities.
Merit Scholarships are NOT need-based awards. They are based on GPAs and possibly test scores.
It is important that students file scholarship applications by the scholarship deadline. The application form for many scholarships can be found online. Students should work with the Registrar at their high school to have transcripts sent with their scholarship applications in the same manner that transcripts are sent with college applications.
