Scholarships

Applying for scholarships is a very important part of senior year. In addition to the possibility of getting college’s 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.

Additional scholarship resources:

In addition to the Southeastern scholarships, the Guidance Department has scholarship information available to graduating seniors. Guidance Counselors may post scholarship information on their Google Classroom sites and there are also online applications at the bottom of this page. When applying for any scholarship, be sure to fully complete the application, read all requirements and submit all documents by the stated deadline. Students should begin researching outside scholarship opportunities before senior year.
