Scholarships
While the individual schools to which you are applying will often offer various forms of merit-based aid, or scholarships, many outside organizations offer money as well. The College Counseling department maintains a list of these outside scholarships and publishes these lists via the scrolling announcements and reminders posted throughout the guidance hallway.
Below we have provided a comprehensive list of scholarships available throughout the year. However, you can view the most updated month-by-month listing of this year's scholarship opportunities here:
