Paying for College - Scholarships

The best source for merit-based scholarship money will be through the college or university where you plan to attend. However, there are also private scholarships awarded by community groups, individuals, and foundations. Information and applications for these scholarships arrive on a rolling basis and are posted here. Seniors interested in scholarship opportunities should check this website frequently.

Students who match the criteria outlined by the organization are encouraged to apply. Applications for many scholarships are available online. Click on the links below.
