Scholarships

Scholarships provide students with money for their higher education that does not need to be repaid. Students can earn scholarships for a variety of reasons, and from many sources:

1. Local Scholarships - Local scholarships are listed in Naviance (Colleges → Scholarships and Money → Scholarship List). Students should regularly check these lists, as more scholarships are added all the time, especially during the second semester.

2. Colleges/Universities - The bulk of scholarship money comes from colleges and universities. Many colleges automatically review students for scholarship eligibility when they apply, but students should also look at a college’s website or reach out to the Financial Aid Office to inquire about any other scholarships for which students are not automatically considered.

3. National/International Scholarships - The following websites can be used to search for scholarships:

4. Family & Business Connections - Ask family members and family friends if they are associated with any businesses, organizations, or associations that provide scholarships for which you may be eligible. If you are employed part-time, inquire with your employer about possible scholarships.
