Introduction to scholarships

The information contained in this web site regarding scholarships is to be used as a resource when seeking scholarship awards. It is important to check the scholarship board and web site frequently. As the year progresses the amount of scholarships available increases. Applications for the scholarships listed are available in the Guidance Office unless otherwise noted.

Many students are obtaining scholarships over the internet. Most of the scholarships request an official high school transcript. Students must be in touch with their counselor to complete that process.

It is absolutely necessary that these scholarships arrive at their destination on time, whether it is mailed by the student or by the Guidance Office. Allow time when observing due dates for completion of recommendations, transcripts and mailing time.  SCHOLARSHIPS BEING TURNED INTO THE GUIDANCE OFFICE MUST BE SUBMITTED BY NO LATER THAN 2:30 pm.
