OTHER SCHOLARSHIP LISTS AND SEARCH ENGINES
Tips for your scholarship search
1. Start early!!! Scholarships are available for extracurricular activities, like community service, leadership, and church. But in each case, involvement and persistence are important factors—meaning you want to be involved with an activity for a significant period of time in a real way to make it really count.
2. Listen up. Most scholarships are due at the same time each year and have the same requirements. When you hear an announcement for a scholarship, write the name, due date, and requirements down in your planner—even if you can’t apply until later. Remember to check SCHS scholarship list often since it is updated almost weekly.
3. Search and research. Use the internet, ask your counselor, and complete the FAFSA. Completing the FAFSA is how to receive financial aid for college.
4. Apply for any and all scholarships that you might have a chance of winning.
5. Get organized. Keep track of the important information about each scholarship, including deadlines, requirements, and sources.
6. Follow all the directions noted on the scholarship application and let someone proofread your applications before submitting them.
