Scholarships

There is a wide variety of scholarships available to students.  The key is to search for them often and then take the time to apply!  Scholarship funds can be found and awarded on the basis of one’s merit (grade point average), interests, life experiences, future plans, specific characteristic (left-handed), etc. 

You should NEVER have to pay to find out about the availability of scholarships.  Our recommendation is that you do a search on the Internet for ‘Free Scholarship Searches’.  This will bring up a number of free searches for you to look into.  How these searches work is that you will be asked a series of questions to determine your interests, accomplishments, etc.
