Scholarships
Mrs. Haak keeps a list of current college scholarship opportunities for Seniors. (Available Below) She will also try to put them 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 are easier to get than nationally available scholarships because you may only be competing against a few applicants. Still, don't let that discourage you from applying for nationally available scholarships. They have to go to someone, so why not you?
If you know of an opportunity that should be on this list, please email Mrs. Haak with information. Also, if searching for scholarships on your own, please read the information below about spotting fake scholarship and grant scams. Thank you!
