The SCPS Scholarship Database Just Got an Upgrade!

Finding scholarships is now easier than ever with several new features added to the SCPS Scholarship Database to help students and families search, save, and apply for scholarship opportunities.

What's New?

• Enhanced Search Options: Students can now search and filter scholarships by school, category, grade level and award amount to quickly find opportunities that fit their needs.

• Recurring Deadlines Identified: Scholarships that reopen each year are now clearly marked as "Recurring Annually," making it easier to plan ahead and identify opportunities that return each year.

• Helpful Financial Aid Resources: Direct links to the FAFSA and Bright Futures applications have been added, allowing students to easily access important state and federal financial aid applications.

• Improved Mobile Experience: The database is now more mobile-friendly, making it easier to browse scholarships from a phone or tablet.

• Personalized Student Access: Students can log in using their myscps.us account to save scholarships and return to them later. 

• Email Scholarships to Yourself: Students can quickly send scholarship information to their email for future reference.

• Export and Print Options: Students and families can download scholarship listings in Excel or PDF format or print customized scholarship searches for easy planning and organization. 

• Monthly Scholarship Updates: Beginning this spring, SCPS seniors and their families will receive monthly Skyward emails highlighting newly added scholarship opportunities.

• Increased Visibility: Students can now access the SCPS scholarship database through a new Scholarship tile in their Clever portal, and additional improvements are underway to make the database easier to find on the main SCPS website.

• New Scholarship Submission Form: Community organizations and scholarship providers can now submit scholarship opportunities through a new "Offer a Scholarship" survey for review and possible inclusion in the database.

• Senior Scholarship Reporting: The homepage now prominently features the Senior Scholarship Reporting Survey, making it easy for graduating seniors to report scholarships they have earned for their school’s Senior Awards Night programs. 

• Over 100 Scholarship Opportunities Available: SCPS students can browse a growing database of local, state, and national scholarships all in one place. The site currently features more than 100 scholarship opportunities available to SCPS students. 

We encourage all students and families to visit the SCPS Scholarship Database regularly to discover new opportunities, save scholarships of interest, and stay informed about important financial aid and scholarship deadlines.
