KIRKWOOD Scholarships
FYI: Kirkwood gives away over $3 million in scholarships every year - changing the lives of thousands of students!
So take advantage of the following opportunity:
Kirkwood's Scholarship Program for NEXT academic year will be opening the online application on October 1.
So at that time, submit your application for scholarships for next school year – if you are thinking about staying at Kirkwood after your College Credit in High School experience. I know it seems like a long way off, but the March 15th Scholarship submission deadline has a habit of creeping up on students!
So if you are a high school senior interested in applying for Kirkwood Scholarships for next year or learning more about … the process… the online application, please click on the following links below:

Also, you need to complete your FAFSA and there is a 300 word essay (piece of cake) that is required to complete the scholarship application for Kirkwood. If you are not in Prep to Grad, below are some resources we use to help write the short, three paragraph essay. I can also help you get started if you are having a difficult time, and edit it before you turn it in. I would also suggest you talk to your English teachers at Metro...they are experts at helping students with writing pieces!
