Every senior who plans to attend a college or university MUST complete the FAFSA. Scholarships cannot be awarded until this application is filed with the U.S. Department of Education https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa- The 2025-2026 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is expected to be available for testing on Oct. 1, 2024 with a limited number of students and institutions. The application will be available to all students on or before Dec. 1, 2024. The federal deadline to submit the FAFSA is June 30, 2026, and corrections or updates can be submitted by September 14, 2026.

There is a plethora of scholarships available. Students have a greater chance of receiving the ones on the following list. However, please research on your own. Reputable search engines are posted at the end of the scholarship list. Research is spelled "DIG." Ask your parents to explore their workplace opportunities and church affiliations for scholarships. Also, national scholarships should not be scoffed at as being impossible to receive. Impossible is just what has not been done yet!

Dates listed for the scholarships are last year's dates minus the day of the month. The day of the month varies from year to year. The scholarship pages will be updated whenever the 2024-2025 information becomes available.
