Free Scholarship Searches
Thanksgiving and Christmas break is a great time to get on the internet and do some scholarship searches. As many of you have discovered, it is time consuming! There are a lot of good scholarships out there nationwide, but finding them can be a challenge. Below is a list of some of the free scholarship search sites.
Don't forget--scholarship searches should not cost you a dime. While doing a search, if at any time it asks you to pay a fee, do not go any further.

- Arkansas Department of Higher Education: www.adhe.edu

REMINDER for SENIORS: I need a copy of all scholarship offers (yes, including those scholarships you are not going to use). Paper or digital copy of the award letter is acceptable. Thank you!
I will send out another newsletter later in January announcing all Local Scholarships available for Seniors.
