Scholarships

Scholarships are private funds that are made available to students through separate application processes. Scholarship awards do not need to be repaid and can be used to pay for college expenses. Scholarship opportunities listed below are in due date order. New scholarship opportunities will be added periodically, so check back often!
 
Students can also look at scholarship websites which are tools students can use to locate other scholarship opportunities. Students provide a profile, and the search engine alerts them to scholarship opportunities that match their criteria. UNIGO and Big Future College Board are scholarship search engines to help find scholarship opportunities.
