Scholarships

There are many scholarships available for the students who qualify and apply for them early. Deadlines are crucial. Late applications are typically not considered. Scholarships are available based on need and merit (academic, athletic, leadership, community service, awards/honors, etc.).  In order to apply for a scholarship, you must complete an application process which could include writing an essay, acquiring recommendation letters, and/or providing an outline of high school activities. It is important to start early and meet the application deadline.

Completing the scholarship application accurately, completely, and neatly is extremely important.  Type the information whenever possible. When references or recommendation letters are required, a) be sure to give plenty of time to the person completing them for you; b) provide them with a copy of your recommendation form. Be sure to note whether the recommendation letter is to be sent with the application or in a separate envelope.

Seniors are encouraged to start looking at scholarship options as soon as possible. They may want to consider putting together a monthly list of scholarships they wish to apply for. This procedure will help them to stay on top of the application process.
