Where to Find Scholarships

  1. Ms. Maez’s emails have a TON of scholarship information. If you are not reading the emails she sends you, you are not taking advantage of all the good opportunities that are coming your way. Also, check the Future Center’s scholarship wall for scholarship applications sorted by month of due date.
  1. Naviance has a good scholarship search engine. Go to the “College” tab, and then scroll down toward the bottom of the page. Click on “National Scholarship Search” and/or “Scholarship Match.” Both search options will help you narrow down scholarships based upon your characteristics.
