Scholarship Listing
for 2010 - 2011

Click Here if you would like to be informed about new scholarships by e-mail.

 

Please Note:
  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. Click Here to download a listing of the Local Scholarships.

Students are advised to check the Scholarship List in the Counseling Office once each week.
