Scholarship Information

A good first step in your scholarship search is to start locally. Check with your parents, employers, local organizations, religious groups, and Chamber of Commerce.

  • Some employers offer financial aid, tuition reimbursement, and/or scholarships for employees or their children.
  • Many organizations such as Boy/Girl Scouts, Rotary International, or Elks Club offer scholarships. Major labor unions offer scholarships for their members and dependent children. Check with organizations related to your field of study.
  • Your church or synagogue may have scholarships available. Also, check with the headquarters of your religious affiliation.
  • Your local Chamber of Commerce may be able to offer small grants or scholarships to local students.

Below you’ll find other resources that may help you locate financial aid. Also, there are links within these websites for other related resources or scholarships.

Be sure to check with your high school guidance counselor, your college or university’s financial aid office, the department chairman at your chosen school, and your college or local library for scholarship information.
