College and Scholarship Resources

Dawn Haak, College Adviser

College planning choices are some of the most important decisions our high school students will have to make in the coming years. The "where," "when," "how," "why," and "if" are all things that need to be addressed.  I've gathered some links and resources that I have found helpful in answering students' and parents' questions about college, scholarships, pre-college testing, and financial aid.  This page will also have a calendar featuring upcoming tests at our school and college representative visits.

I encourage you to contact me at the high school with any questions about college planning, testing, or scholarships.  I'm here to help!


Scholarships

Posted below is a list of current college scholarship opportunities for Seniors.  They will also be in the daily announcements when they are new.  Be sure to check back during the year as new scholarships become available. In general, more local and regional scholarships become available in the Spring.  These can be less intimidating than nationally available scholarships because you may only be competing against a few applicants.  Still, don't let that discourage you from applying for statewide or nationwide awards, since some of these scholarships from larger organizations are awarded to hundreds of individuals.

  • Beware of College Scholarships Scams

    Scholarships are an attractive way to help manage college costs. You won't have to repay them (like loans) or work to maintain them (like work-study). Since students and parents are so eager to find these funds, it's no wonder that families become easy targets for financial aid con artists.  -- Article by CollegeBoard.com.
