More on Scholarships

Haven’t heard enough about scholarships yet? Well, let’s talk a little about other scholarships that are available at the community, state, or even national level. You can always start with a general search, but there are also many scholarship search engines that you can use as a resource. With so many different scholarships, it can feel a bit daunting, but remember, if you are able to earn one of the scholarships, your time would certainly be worth the effort.

Here are a few of the scholarship search sites that might help you:

Also, remember that we maintain a scholarship drawer in the Counseling Center so you are welcome to stop and look through all of the applications we have available.

Never pay for a scholarship! Scholarships are meant to give you money – not the other way around so know that if they are asking you to send money, that it is a scam.
