Outside Scholarships

We are pleased to present the following outside resources to help you in your search for third-party scholarships. Students are encouraged to explore and apply for private scholarships that may be awarded locally or nationally. The key is to seek this funding out. We believe the work is worth it since scholarships do not need to be repaid.

You are strongly encouraged to seek out local, grassroots organizations that can assist with educational funding. Houses of worship, local community centers, and arts organizations are great resources to explore.
