Regional and National Scholarships
2024-2025 National Scholarship Resources
Researching scholarships is similar to any other research project you might do for a class. To help manage the volume of information, keep a binder where you can organize your scholarships. Scholarships are organized in categories (merit based, major, athletic, ethnicity/heritage, gender, religious affiliation, community involvement, disability, financial need, etc.) In addition to state and federal monies for college tuition, be sure to contact the financial aid office on the campus that you plan to enroll. Each campus is unique and has its own scholarship program. Be sure to check for updated scholarships listed below and advertised in the Career Center.
