Scholarships

In recognition of the challenges students may face in funding their education, this page offers a list of scholarship opportunities aimed at alleviating the financial burden associated with postsecondary learning. Some scholarships are merit-based, while others consider financial need, extracurricular activities, or unique talents. Applying for scholarships often requires more than just filling out a form. You may need to submit an essay, provide letters of recommendation, or even interview before graduation. Our commitment is to provide students with a straightforward and serious approach to securing the support they need to excel academically and achieve their educational goals. Navigate through the opportunities available, and take a step toward a more accessible and focused educational journey. Please feel free to reach out to the counseling center if you have any questions.
