This is the current scholarship list generated by our OHS Guidance department. The source of the entries here are through communications from the sponsoring organizations and institutions to guidance counselors. Everything that comes across my desk is entered here, but there are many, many more out there. The largest and most significant source would come directly from colleges themselves. Also, see the Scholarship sources for a list of good resources to check out.
Please note that most scholarships have links. If the scholarship is linked, it is likely that I don't have physical copy of the application. I If you see a scholarship on the list that does not have, you must request a copy of the information from Mr. McArtor.
Please note: All scholarships are filed by due date and not by name. Please ask for information about a scholarship including the due date. Thanks!
