Internal (local) Scholarship Info

Please check this webpage periodically/weekly as scholarship applications are uploaded as soon as we receive them. The goal is to have most of the local scholarship applications uploaded by the end of December.

Most of the scholarship deadlines are in the spring (May 1), but every scholarship deadline varies so the deadlines need to be checked individually.

The attachments can be downloaded and saved on your computer so that you can type directly into your applications. This way you can spell check your apps and make sure they are "NEAT AND COMPLETE"-complete meaning any essays, tax info or transcripts required have been included.

Mrs. Crandall-Bean is glad to proofread or assist with any scholarship questions you may have.
