Counselor Connections
Newsletter from Mount St. Mary Counseling Department
Scholarships
The Scholarship version of MSM's Counselor Connections began earlier this school year as a monthly publication of scholarships curated from multiple sites. As we move into the summer months and next school year, hopefully students and families will find it helpful as they search for scholarships to help pay for college.
The Class of 2024 and their parents are receiving this for the first time. Although you might not find any scholarships to which you can currently apply, it will give you a sense of what will be available next year. Please look at the requirements for some of the scholarships in order to prepare yourself for the application process next year. Most scholarships will require an essay of some kind. If you can write a generic essay this summer to have prepared for scholarship applications, then it might be easier to revise and tailor that essay for specific applications during the busy school year.
To the Class of 2023, thanks for reading and using the newsletter! When you are a college student, keep searching for scholarships. While gathering scholarships for this newsletter, I come across a lot of opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. Your college's financial aid office and academic departments should also be excellent resources for scholarships in the future.
Scholarship Newsletter
In every edition of our Scholarship Newsletter, we provide three sections:
- Western New York & New York State Scholarships. We have the scholarships listed by due date. We provide a link to a "living" Google Sheet that will give information about each scholarship, along with links to applications or instructions on how to apply. This document will be updated throughout the school year as needed.
- National Scholarships. Scholarships are listed by due date (this issue focuses on those scholarships due in February and March 2023).
- MSM's curated list of scholarships offered from local colleges/universities.
