Key Strategies for Success
Start Early: Begin your search and preparation as early as your sophomore year.
Stay Organized: Create a system (like a spreadsheet) to track potential scholarships, deadlines, requirements, and submission status. Organize applications by due date and work on the most time-consuming ones first.
Don't Ignore Small Awards: Smaller local or niche scholarships often have less competition and can add up significantly.
Treat it Like a Job: Set aside dedicated time each week to search for and apply for scholarships. Consistency is key.

Weber High will hold a FAFSA Completion Night if you need additional help. An email will be sent with information.
FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Filling out the application is essential if you're looking for the government to help you pay for college. Even if you don't think you'll be eligible for financial aid, some scholarships require you to submit the application, so we always suggest completing the application just in case. All of the information you submit on the FAFSA application is protected and will not be released to the federal government.
HELPFUL TIP: Students are required to submit their email address on the FAFSA application and this will be the main way of contact if there is a problem with the application. We recommend students create and use a personal email address rather than a student email address for this application. Student emails are deleted after graduation and you do not want to lose the emails you receive from FAFSA.
