Just a quick reminder that the deadline for most of the local scholarships is just a week away! Please put forth the time, energy and effort required to work on completing all of the applications for which you may qualify. The deadline for most of the scholarships is the end of the school day on Friday, April 7th. Be sure to review your applications and verify that you have all of the required pieces ready to be turned in by the deadline. Hopefully if you needed recommendation letters for your applications you have already requested those as it will be difficult (if not impossible) for teachers to write letters in one week for you.
Additionally, there are scholarships available at the community, state, and national levels. There are many scholarship search engines that you can use as a resource to help you identify scholarships that might be a good fit. 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 (and the WKHS counselor website has even more):

It is also important to remember that you should never pay for a scholarship - scholarships should be giving YOU money, not the other way around.
