Scholarships

All scholarships will be posted on Naviance this school year. As opportunities are received, they will be posted on Naviance regularly. An effort is made to include local, state, and national scholarships based on information received.  You are encouraged to visit this page often.  

Some scholarships require school endorsements/recommendations to be considered.  For these scholarships, students should submit the Request to be considered for a scholarship Google form by the established deadline.  

For School Counselor recommendations, allow two weeks for completion.
