Local Scholarships

Last week I talked a little bit about searching for scholarships and taking advantage of all of the opportunities that are out there.  I neglected to address one of the most important scholarship opportunities that Kilbourne students should be pursuing - LOCAL SCHOLARSHIPS!

Local Scholarships are great because you are only competing against other WKHS students (for most of them) and, at most, against other students from the general area. These scholarships are all among the scholarships we have listed on the WKHS Counselor website and I strongly encourage you to take the time to check them out.  To find the scholarship listings on the Counselor Website - you can use the logo on the right side of the page or hover over the College/ Career tab and Scholarships are the bottom option.

The majority of the local scholarships have due dates ranging from March 1st to April 14th although there are a few outliers.  As you read through the scholarships available, look carefully to determine which ones you might be a good candidate for and therefore want to apply to try to receive.  Please remember that time flies and many of the scholarships have requirements such as essays or recommendation letters, so it is important not to procrastinate and to get your applications completed on time.
