Scholarships

Applying for scholarships is a very important part of senior year. In addition to the possibility of getting colleges financial assistance and applying for financial aid, students should be proactive and search for additional scholarships from other sources.

Although the financial aid application process handled through the colleges will most likely yield the majority of financial assistance offered, it is important to look beyond what the colleges have in terms of available scholarships.

Senior Scholarship Application Process:

Complete the Southeastern Scholarship Application: This scholarship may be used to apply for several scholarships. You will need to share this document with your Guidance Counselor. THIS IS A GOOGLE DOC. BE SURE TO MAKE A COPY FIRST, save with your name, Scholarship Application AND SHARE WITH YOUR GUIDANCE COUNSELOR

The Guidance Department has scholarship information available to graduating seniors. In addition to what is seen on this page, Guidance Counselors may post scholarship information on their Google Classroom sites and hard copies of some scholarship applications may be in the main Guidance Office. When applying for any scholarship, be sure to fully complete the application, read all requirements and submit all documents by the stated deadline.
