Scholarships

Please note:  Below is a comprehensive list of most of the scholarships that come to NWLHS. Contact Mrs. Gross, Scholarship Coordinator with any specific questions and/or concerns.

Too often scholarships are not given because no students have applied!

Don't Be A Victim!

Please Note: Beware of some scholarship scam sites! Also, be careful about scholarship "search" companies that guarantee you money "for a small fee". Scholarship access should NOT cost money. While some companies are legitimate and might be helpful, many are not. Be careful and informed. See below for recommended website scholarship searches. Visit the Career Center for free resources that may be borrowed for home use. 

Remember, you don't need to spend money to receive money!
