Scholarship Opportunities
We will be growing this list as we come across additional opportunities. You do not have to be an athlete to take advantage of these scholarship opportunities. We would like to have every student go to college and not have to pay for it (at least not that much of it.). There are links on each opportunity that will take you to where you can apply. Simply click on the opportunity icon. We will add as much information as we can to assist you in which opportunity or opportunities is right for your situation. Some of these, your high school counselor may have to nominate you for. Check with your guidence office for more information.
