Scholarships & Financial Aid
Figuring out how to pay for college can be very overwhelming, but we hope to make this process a little bit easier by providing information about local, state, and national scholarship opportunities.
Students should use the search engines and resources below, as well as the School Counseling Google Classroom for their graduation year, to access scholarship applications.
If you have specific financial aid questions about a particular college or university, we encourage you to contact that institution's Financial Aid Office directly. Each school has its own financial aid policies, deadlines, scholarship opportunities, and award requirements. The Financial Aid Office is the best resource for detailed information regarding your student's financial aid package, institutional scholarships, and other funding opportunities available specifically at that college or university.
