Scholarships

Scholarships may be awarded to a student based on need, merit, or other criteria. They are a type of financial aid that do not need to be repaid. Avoid scams: You do not have to pay to find or apply to scholarships. Here are a few resources to help you find scholarships:

  • Community and religious organizations, local businesses, and community foundations
  • Your employer or your parents’ employer(s)
  • Your high school counselor’s office
  • Federal Student Aid website
