Scholarship Information
Scholarship information is available and updated on a weekly basis in the Guidance Office. Counselors will be available to assist students with this process.

• Be aware of deadlines and make sure applications are submitted before the due dates.
• Families seeking financial aid are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) after October 1. Visit the  FAFSA homepage for more information.
• Nearly all colleges and universities offer scholarships through their financial aid offices. A separate application is sometimes required and the application deadline may be different from the admission application deadline. Consult the college admission office or their website for this information.
• There are many scholarships available and search engines to help you find them. See the local and national scholarship search links in the main menu.
• Remember to check with parents' employers, student's employers, churches, and any organizations or clubs you may be involved in for available scholarships.
• Be wary of services that guarantee you scholarship money for a fee - it's usually a scam!
• Your school counselor is available to assist you at any time.
