Local Scholarships

Local scholarship applications will be available for all interested students in the Spring of their senior year. The majority of the local scholarships are controlled by organizations outside of the school district. The guidance counselors will distribute the scholarship information; however, it will be done on the timeline of the various scholarship committees. Applications can be obtained in the guidance office or printed using the links below.
