College and University Based Scholarship Information

Your future college/university may offer various types of scholarship opportunities.  Use the links below to explore and apply for scholarships through your school.  Most offer automatic scholarships based off of GPA/Test Scores that you do not have to apply for, they are awarded automatically.  Some schools offer general scholarships that require one application to be reviewed for multiple scholarships.  There are also department/college specific scholarships. For example if you were going to be a teacher you may look at the Education Department or College of Education for more scholarship opportunities.  It can be a tedious process looking through scholarships to see if you are eligible, etc…. but it is definitely worth the time and effort.  Let me know if I can help you with this in any way.  Also, if your school is not on this list and you are not able to find scholarship info, let me know and I will look into it for you. 

***Some schools require you to log in to apply.  So, if you have been accepted to a school and they sent you information to set up an account…..get that taken care of J
