Scholarships are an excellent opportunity for students to help fund their education. There are several types of scholarships students can apply. Scholarships may be awarded by colleges or individual organizations. Deadlines will vary and it is a best practice to search and apply often. I encourage students to apply to multiple opportunities in addition to applying for financial aid.

When applying to college, it is important to apply the college scholarship deadline. Completing the application by this deadline ensures the best reviews by the admission and scholarship offices. See the deadlines below and click on the school name for more information.

Some scholarships may register with more than one organization below, but it is a good idea to find a few you like and bookmark them for research throughout the year.
