Use the tabs on the left to navigate to a list of Local, National Scholarships, NJ and Regional Scholarships, and the Scholarship Processing Form.
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.
All local scholarships will be available on December 1st of Senior year. An announcement and email notification will be made to publicize this date. Local Scholarships will be posted online using a specific Senior Scholarships Google Classroom.
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:
The New Jersey Student Assistance Rewards Scholarship - (NJ STARS) is the first state sponsored scholarship program in the nation that is specifically designed for community college students. NJ STARS covers the cost of tuition and approved fees at New Jersey's 19 community colleges.
NJHESAA - Grants & Scholarships
UNCF Scholarships - for Minority Students
Fastweb! - Scholarship, college, and financial aid searches
Scholarships.com- Scholarship search engine
College Board/Big Future- College Board scholarship search engine
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.
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.
