Students are encouraged to investigate scholarships through a variety of sources. 

Some of the best resources for scholarships include your parents' employers, your employer, churches and religious groups, fraternal and ethnic organizations, community service clubs, labor unions and industry groups. 

Many universities and colleges will offer scholarships to students based on academic merit, special talent, and/or financial need.  Students should access information from the financial aid or scholarship office at colleges to learn about the scholarship requirements and process. 

There are a variety of scholarship books and guides available to students and families that will assist you in investigating scholarships.  These books can be purchased at local bookstores and a few publications, including the Peterson's Guide to Scholarships, Grants and Prizes, are available for review in the Guidance Office.

There are many free scholarship search Web sites available.  A few examples follow:
