Scholarship Resources

Find Scholarship Info Online

One of the best places to look for scholarships is close to home. Check with your school counselor and keep your eyes and ears open for organizations in your community that might offer scholarship opportunities.  Churches, credit unions, your parents’ employers, athletic booster clubs, and others can be great resources in your search for scholarships.
