Local Scholarships for PHS Students

Here is a comprehensive list of scholarships that guidance has received in the past and it will be updated throughout the academic year (please click the "open" button in the top right hand corner to expand the spreadsheet). Active scholarships will have more detailed information, including a link to the application. Inactive scholarships are not available at this time, but included so students can review this information and plan ahead. They will be made active once guidance has received notification - it is not guaranteed that all of these scholarships will be available this academic year. 

Please Note:  Traditionally, most scholarships are received towards the end of the fall semester and continues through the end of March/beginning of April. Please see Mrs. Ewoldt if you have specific questions about any of these scholarships!

FAFSA INFORMATION 

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a form that students and families must complete in order to be considered for federal and state financial aid programs. Students and families can file the FAFSA online at: FAFSA.gov

Students must file the FAFSA every year while in college in order to be reconsidered for these aid programs. The FAFSA opens on December 1st and the deadline for the State of Indiana is April 15th. Colleges may have an earlier, priority deadline so students are encouraged to check with each college or colleges they are applying to so do not miss any deadlines or additional paperwork that might be needed. 

NOTE: Students are required to file the FAFSA for the following state aid programs: 21st Century Scholars, Mitch Daniels Early Graduation Scholarship, and the Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship.
