Everyone wants to go to college but do you know how to get there? A scholarship is an award of financial aid for a student to further their education. Scholarships are awarded based upon various criteria, which usually reflect the values and purposes of the donor or founder of the award. Remember, scholarship money is not required to be repaid! So it is essentially free money!

These are the current local scholarship deadlines for High Schools that may be most accessible by most students.

Applying for scholarships may seem discouraging at times, especially if you aren’t granted with a scholarship. But the key to earning many scholarships as possible, is to apply for as many scholarships as possible!
