Local Scholarships
While we don’t want to discourage students from applying for the national or statewide scholarships, we do want to encourage students not to ignore the smaller awards offered on a local level. Although many of these scholarships offer prizes of only $100 to $500, some are larger (around $1,000 to $5,000). Local Scholarships also tend to offer money to fewer students than their federal/state counterparts—often one or two students per year. But since far fewer students apply for these scholarships, you may have a better chance of winning these awards than the so-called “big money” national scholarships. Below is a comprehensive list of local scholarships being offered for this year's graduates. This list will be updated as more information becomes available.
