The Scholarship Listing is updated weekly. As scholarship
announcements come in to the Counseling Office, they are recorded by the
secretary who posts them in the Counseling Office and e-mails them to
the web site once each week. Many of the scholarships that we receive in
the fall are national scholarships. Some of the local ones do not come
in until the spring. The application for most of the local scholarships
that are listed in the back of the Student Parent Handbook is given to
students in their English class during Semester 2, usually in March or
April.

Students are advised to check the Scholarship List in the Counseling
