Reminders

Review this site weekly, especially during the Spring Semester. Although the majority of the scholarship opportunities listed below are only for graduating seniors, some do not have grade level restrictions.
The scholarship listings in the chart have either a direct link to the donor's website or an application that you may download and complete and send to the organization.
Begin your search early and start collecting the pieces of information you will need for your applications: essay, high school transcript, recommendation letters from teachers, community members, employers, etc., resume of honors and activities and awards. Update your information as needed.
Follow application instructions carefully and apply directly to the scholarship organization.
Send your completed application to the address listed on the application and be sure to adhere to the organization's deadline.
If the organization requires an official transcript you need to order it through Parchment and have it sent to you.
Be sure to give yourself time to have the official transcript sent to you. Keep the official transcript sealed and attach to your scholarship application.
