Scholarship Websites
Below is a list of helpful websites to assist you with your scholarship search. I encourage you to check these sites often for new scholarship postings. There is a ton of money out there for students to who are seeking to go to college, but only those who are really proactive will capitalize on these funds. I urge students to take time out of your day to look over these sites and consider applying to any and all scholarships that pertain to them no matter how big or small. Consult your English teachers or the BHS counseling staff for help with essays or letters of recommendations. (BE SURE TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO DEADLINES!!!)
