College Scholarships

High school students should take advantage of every opportunity to apply for high school scholarships whether they are merit-based, need-based or affiliated with a specific group. Many organizations offer scholarships for high school students and the awards may be very generous. Even if you don’t think you’ll qualify for need-based financial aid, it’s often still a good idea to fill out the college opportunities that otherwise wouldn’t be available without these awards!
