Local Scholarships

Local scholarships are a great opportunity for students to earn some additional financial help for college. And, with the scholarships being local, it means that there will be less people applying for the scholarships (compared to national scholarships) which gives you a better chance of receiving one of the scholarships.

Please take the time to carefully read through the criteria for the scholarships to see which ones would be appropriate for you to apply for and then start getting organized to get your applications completed. After you have determined the scholarships that you would like to apply for, please stop in the counseling center and pick up the actual scholarship application from the tables in the main area of the counseling center. (The picture is the table with local scholarship applications in the Counseling Center.)

The deadline for all completed applications is the end of the school day on April 13th and no late applications can be accepted. I cannot stress enough the importance of planning ahead and starting to work on these scholarships now!

Also, please pay attention to see if the applications require a written recommendation letter and if one is required ask your teacher(s) for a letter as soon as possible - especially if they have not already written a rec letter for you.
