Scholarship Resources
Scholarships starts in your community. Visit the local high schools
and make connections with the counselors and college advisers. Many
local scholarships can be accessed in the counselor's office or the
college career center.
Do not start with the Internet!!!
Be sure to check the websites of ALL
local high schools. Many times different scholarships will be posted
online. These are available to people in the community, including homeschoolers.
Another source for information are the college advisers at the local community colleges. Meet with them and ask questions.
It is recommended to register at one or more scholarship databases to be matched for scholarships for which you are eligible.
The scholarship resources listed are starting points only. Please continue to research your scholarship opportunities.

Community service needs to be documented to include the following:
Community service is about quality of service over quantity of hours. Show a commitment over time, with a minimum of one hour per month over four months. If you can serve more even better. Get involved with helping others. Most scholarships require community service. Be sure to document your time.
*Also ask in the local stores, restaurants, businesses, police dept., fire dept. etc. of your community if they have a scholarship. It can never hurt to ask, the worst they can tell you is no. If they say yes, accept and complete the application ASAP!
