Scholarships June 2008

The Counseling Center continually receives information concerning scholarships. We will publish these as they arrive. However, your BEST source of scholarship information is on the Internet. Please, if you are interested in applying for scholarships, check out these web sites: www.finaid.org – www.fastweb.com – www.salliemae.com –http://www.washington.edu/students/ugrad/scholar – (the UW site has scholarships that can be used at ANY school, not just UW)--www.maxwell.org targets students who plan to attend private colleges.

Any college or vocational school you are thinking of attending has a financial/scholarship office where you can learn about additional scholarships. Most of these schools also have web sites that offer not only information but also downloadable applications. Do your research. Don’t let this available money go to waste. But remember, the application process can be lengthy and require a lot of personal data. Be prepared. Check the scholarship file in the Counseling Center often. New information arrives daily. See, Mrs. Hope or Mr. Sutich in the Counseling Center if you have questions.
