As part of your plan to apply for Financial Aid for college, please consider applying for Merit-Based or Need-Based Scholarships

You can start by searching websites where you will find information on scholarship opportunities across the United States.

• Ask your counselor, or visit the Counseling Office for local or private scholarships. These are regularly advertised via email.
• Search your community. Ask local businesses or charitable organizations for opportunities. Ask your parents if the company they work for offers scholarships.
• Ask the financial aid office at the college you have chosen to attend if they offer campus or major specific scholarships. These are often posted on their website, as well.
• Beware of scams. Never pay a fee to apply for scholarships, and do not give out your social security number.
• Be prepared to spend time organizing your resume, and complete the applications by their deadlines.
