Financial Aid & Scholarships

As part of our Transition to College initiative, we help answer questions about FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and other funding opportunities. We also keep you up-to-date with scholarship opportunities, both as high school students and throughout college.

During High School

Check out our high school scholarship spreadsheet to see some scholarships we encourage our students to apply for. We do our best to update this spreadsheet every year.

During College

Applying for scholarships shouldn’t stop when you enter college. Look into our college student scholarship spreadsheet to apply for more money to help your financial aid package as you continue your college journey.
