The scholarship process requires time, work, and dedication on the part of you and your parents as well as school personnel. Many times those who are the most organized and the most diligent with the application process are the ones who receive scholarships! You and/or your parents have the responsibility for:
  • Investigating scholarships via printed books/publications in your guidance office. You may freely access the scholarship files in the guidance counseling office and bulletin board displays;
  • Reading the Guidance Newsletter carefully and saving them for references for scholarship deadlines;
  • Noting deadlines, procedures and qualifications if applicable. When the applications complete, review it with your guidance counselor before mailing. Applications should be mailed at least one week before the scholarship deadline;
  • Investigating possible scholarship opportunities available via your parents' employment, the college or university you will attend, community organizations, and other sources.
Here are some tips that may help you in your scholarship search:
  1. Fill out the FAFSA as early as possible. You may find the forms in your counselor's office.
  2. Check with your parent's employer to see if there are any scholarships available for the daughters or sons of employees.
  3. If you have a job check with your employer to see if scholarships are available.
  4. If you are a member of a religious organization check availability of scholarships.
  5. If your parents are members of any organizations check to see if they offer scholarships.
