Not a high school student? See our Additional Opportunities page for scholarships available to a wider audience.
Most scholarship funds have specific eligibility requirements established by the donor, such as enrollment at a particular high school or specialization in a particular field of study. Also, most scholarship funds base selection on financial need, academic performance, extracurricular activities, volunteer/community service, or other talents.
Applicants should keep these issues in mind as they search for scholarships for which they may be eligible.
The application deadline for most scholarships is March 1.
If you are a current scholarship recipient and have questions about your award, please see our FAQ section.
