helping pay for your plan after high-school
Funding your po$t-$econdary plan
Finding scholarships can be tricky and time-consuming. Although there is not a concrete list of scholarships to give out, here are some resources to help you.
- College Web Site: Most colleges have a scholarship page on their web site. Start here! Check out the scholarship page for the school that you intend to go and see what specific scholarships that college offers.
- CVHS Counselors Schoology Page: All CVHS students are already a member there. Go to the “Resources” tab and select the Senior folder. Then select the “Scholarships” folder for resources.
- CVHS Guidance Scholarship Web Page: Here you will find some general information as well as a scholarship list that gets updated whenever our department finds out about any new opportunities: http://cvhsguidance.weebly.com/scholarships--financial-aid.html
- CVHS Community Scholarship Program: CVHS students can apply for up to 4 scholarships and can be awarded 1. This annual opportunity should open in February.
