2025-2026 Scholarships

Morris Hills Scholarship Procedures and Reminders

1. The number of scholarships that come through the Morris Hills School Counseling Office are a small fraction of the number of scholarship opportunities that are available.  We recommend checking out these top scholarship websites (and remember that you should never pay for the right to apply for scholarships) to search for scholarships:

   • #1 Scholarship Site for Morris Hills High School - Going Merry

     • Our primary scholarship site

     • Here's an introductory video with a step-by-step breakdown 

     • Sign up with your email - it's a 2 step process and takes about 30 seconds

     • Apply to multiple scholarships at once, browse thousands of scholarships and track all your applications in one place (takes less than 30 minutes)

   • Fastweb

   • Scholarships.com

   • Chegg Scholarships

   • College Board BigFuture  - see parent flyer for more information

   • Lendedu 

   • New Jersey Scholarship Directory - a list of 100+ vetted scholarships for students across the state, broken down by month 

2. Most Local scholarship applications will be available by January 25,  either on Going Merry or on our Local Scholarships Available page. A School Messenger, Google Classroom announcement and email notification will be made to publicize this date.  

3. Remember to check for additional scholarship opportunities through your college, your parent/guardian's place of employment, and any extracurricular activities that you are a part of inside and outside of school.  The more work that you put in, the greater the chances of receiving scholarship monies!

4. Submit all completed materials before the deadline. It is up to the student to examine the application requirements carefully and include all necessary materials required by the scholarship organization.  The School Counseling Department is responsible for uploading supporting documents such as  a student's transcript and  letter(s) of recommendation. 

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Mesa, the Scholarship Coordinator,  at hmesa@mhrd.org.
