2023-2024 Scholarships

1. Use the tabs on the left to navigate to a list of local, National Scholarships, NJ and Regional Scholarships, and the Scholarship Processing Form.

2. Paper-based applications must be submitted to the School Counseling Department at least 2 weeks before the deadline listed on this website and must be accompanied by a Scholarship Processing Google Form found under the Scholarship Processing Form tab. 

3. All local scholarships will be available on December 1st of Senior year.  A Google Classroom announcement and email notification will be made to publicize this date.  Local Scholarships will be posted online using Going Merry once available.

4. The number of scholarships that come through the Morris Knolls High School Counseling Office are a small fraction of the number of scholarship opportunities that are available nationwide.  We recommend checking out these top scholarship websites (and remember that you should never pay for the right to apply for scholarships) to search for scholarships:

• #1 Scholarship Site for Morris Knolls High School - Going Merry   

  • Our one stop shop scholarship site

  • Morris Knolls High School LOCAL scholarships will be available ONLY on Going Merry

  • Here's an introductory video with a step-by-step breakdown

  • Sign up with your email  - it's a 2-step process and takes about 30 seconds to complete.  Remember to only sign up once; do not create multiple accounts.

  • Apply to multiple scholarships at once, browse thousands of scholarships and track all of your applications in one place (takes less than 30 minutes)

• Fastweb 

• Scholarships.com 

• Chegg Scholarships 

• Big Future - College Board's Scholarship Search 

5. Remember to check for additional scholarship opportunities through your college, your parent/guardian's place of employment, and any extracurricular activities that you are a part of both inside and outside of school.  The more work that you put in, the greater the chances are of you receiving scholarship monies.

6. Submit all completed materials before the deadline.  It is up to the student to examine the application requirements carefully and include  all necessary materials required by the scholarship organization.  The School Counseling Department is responsible for uploading supporting documentation such as a high school transcript and letter(s) of recommendation.
