The Academic Advisement Department has worked to compile a list of scholarship opportunities that range from elementary to high school. Below are the JANUARY scholarship listings.
Local scholarships are highlighted in blue.
There are so many free scholarship search engines available to students online you'll get about 7 million results by Googling "scholarship search" that it can be difficult to know which websites to use.
Which sites you choose is up to you, but in case you need some help with your decision making, below are a few good starting points.
