We hope you find the information on this page helpful as you begin the scholarship search process.  The search below is updated frequently with new scholarships that become available for MHS students.  If a scholarship does not have a link to the application you need to stop in the Student Services Office to pick up the scholarship application. 
 
There are many free scholarship search Web sites available. A few examples are listed in the "Scholarship Resources" section on the right side of this page.
  
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. 
    
Thank you for planning ahead!
