Scholarships
Scholarships are another vital resource for students who do not meet federal eligibility requirements or are looking for additional financial aid. Scholarships are awarded based on a wide variety of criteria, including (but not limited to) academic merit, athletic ability, and financial needs.
During the college application process, all high school students should ask their guidance counselor about scholarship opportunities.
