Scholarships are financial awards designed to help students cover college expenses. They can come in various forms: some are one-time checks, while others are renewable, providing funds each semester or academic year. Unlike student loans, scholarships do not require repayment.
While a few scholarships are available in the fall, the majority become accessible in the new year. We encourage you to check back in January for more opportunities!
Please be mindful of qualifications, instructions, and deadlines. If you have any questions, please email Ms. Kraus (kraus.k@deerparkschools.org)
