Scholarships
When beginning your scholarship search, your best opportunities will be close to home. A thorough check of these resources can uncover the majority of your scholarship possibilities.
- Check with your high school counselor, your local library, and watch your local newspaper for scholarship announcements.
- Check with employers and any organizations in which you or your parents are members.
- If you have already selected a career field, contact professional organizations in that field for potential scholarship opportunities.
