Applications for Private Scholarships, Grants and Loans
Get started early to pursue private scholarships.
Application Tips:
Every week or so, check your high school scholarship bulletin board for flyers and announcements about scholarship opportunities.
Use a reputable scholarship search service to help track down a wider variety of possible scholarship opportunities. Remember that many of these services charge a fee for searching their database.
Counselors and administrators have application materials for many scholarships. You may need to call directly to some sources for applications and other information.
Deadlines vary. Stay alert for opportunities and be ready to fill out applications or write essays as quickly as you need.
