Local Scholarships & State/National Scholarships
Scholarships are posted in the GoogleDoc as they come into the Counseling Office. There is a sheet for Local scholarships and another sheet for State/National.
Students may print the application if available. Applications that are not available in PDF format will be made available in the file cabinet in the front office next to Ms. Carter's Desk.
College Specific Scholarships
Each college provides their own scholarships. Some are simply awarded through the FAFSA or the college application, many are awarded based on a separate scholarship application. Use the college website to search for scholarships they might provide or you may also contact the admissions office for help.
With awards ranging from $250 to $60,000, our scholarships help countless young people, and adults returning to college, overcome the obstacles that stand between them and education that can lead to a brighter future. Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa allows students the opportunity to create one application that can be used to apply for multiple scholarships. This website typically opens in January and closes in early March.
If you have to pay to apply for the scholarship, it is a scam. Never divulge your checking or savings account numbers, social security number or other personal information, no matter how reasonable sounding the request. If you are unsure, check with your counselor.
Scholarship applications will often ask for your high school activities and awards. It will save you time to create a high school resume which includes extracurricular activities, positions held, special projects, awards received, athletic participation, and religious and volunteer activities, all should include dates and number of years of participation. Save this so that it is quickly printed for applications and letters of recommendation.
