Scholarships

Scholarship Tips and Reminders:

• It is up to each student to apply for scholarships.  

• Don't limit your scholarship search! Look far and wide. Set a goal for how many you will apply to! Our local scholarships will be available in the Spring. What about your parent/guardian's workplace? Local places of worship? Local non-profits, charity organizations, alumni networks? Your state level? The college you're interested in? Maybe specific to the major you're interested in pursuing? These are just a few ideas to get you started!

• Request recommendations from teachers, counselors, community members at least two weeks (preferably more) before you need the recommendation.

• Ask the teacher or recommender to write a "generic" letter that you can copy and use for more than one application, then make copies!

• Current Seniors must request official transcripts using this Google form and/or your Parchment account (Seniors only).

• Past LHS Graduates must order official transcripts from the District Office.

• Pay close attention to due dates, and please do not wait until the last minute!

• When considering class rank, be aware that the total number of seniors in the rank will go down significantly after early graduates leave in December.

• Most of our local scholarships start coming in after Christmas break.

• If you have an iPhone, an easy way to scan is to use the NOTES app. Start by creating a new note and use the camera icon to scan a document.

• Click the RED button below for the scholarship list. The spreadsheet contains separate tabs for Other Scholarships, Colleges Meeting 100% of Financial Need, College Specific Scholarships, More College Specific Scholarships, Undocumented/DACA and Minority Scholarships, Scholarship Websites, and Scholarships Listed by the Month they are Due.

• The Scholarship List is updated weekly (sometimes even daily!) so check back often!

• As you are awarded scholarships throughout the year, please give Ms. Means in guidance a copy of your award letter. 

Make sure to scroll all the way down and over on the tabs! These may not be in order by due date.
