Start Thinking Scholarships!!

The price tag on college can be scary, but students rarely, if ever, pay the 'sticker price.' Looking and applying for scholarships is a great way to help pay for the cost of tuition, books, room & board, and other expenses. Be sure to check out the scholarship bulletin board in the guidance office to see the latest available scholarships.
www.studentscholarships.org/newsletter.php has a list of scholarships ranging from $500 - $10,000.
