Scholarships

Scholarships are available from a variety of sources but your best source as a Senior applying to a school for post-high school will be the financial aid office of the college you attend.  Be sure to contact them early and pay attention to deadlines.

Every Senior should apply for FAFSA or WASF (some scholarships even require it). Most students qualify for some sort of financial aid, but you have to apply.

Don't wait until the last minute to apply! There are scholarships for ALL ages and grades!!
