Scholarships are available at the national, regional, state, and local levels.  Students can search for and win scholarships as early as the seventh grade.  Students should begin by searching these links to scholarship databases. Links to local scholarships are listed below and sent to students via their school email account.

While there are many scholarship search engines out there, we ask all of you to be wary of any scholarship search engine or database that requires a fee to generate a list of scholarships.  This information should be free, whether you search online, in libraries, or on college websites.  Please, be aware and do not fall victim to a scholarship scam.  This list below is in no way an exhaustive list of the online resources available.  Always check for financial aid and scholarships offered through the college/university where you plan to attend.

If you find other scholarships throughout your search, please notify your counselor, so that those scholarships can be added to the database.  The more scholarships about which our students know and for which they apply, the more chances they have to be awarded scholarship monies.
