Scholarships

When planning for college, make applying for scholarships a top priority! Scholarships are free money—they don’t have to be repaid—and there are thousands out there.

You can start searching and applying for scholarships while applying to colleges. If you have questions, contact your counselor or visit the College & Career Center—we’re here to help!

Check the tabs below for scholarship opportunities. Deadlines and information are updated often, so review regularly.
