Scholarships

Scholarships are a type of financial aid that you do not have to pay back. They are usually won through a competitive process. They can be applied to college-related expenses only. To the side is a helpful guide to scholarships due in the current month and links to their applications.

See below for resources for local scholarships and instructions on how to access them through Career Cruising.
