Walk-ins Welcome
If you are on campus, we invite you to visit our Scholarship Resource Office. We can provide you with resources to locate scholarships, give you helpful hints on applying for scholarships, and answer your questions regarding the scholarship process.
Begin your search for scholarships early. Many award application deadlines occur during spring for the upcoming fall semester. Begin your search around November for scholarships to help fund your education for the coming school year. If you are a high school student, we recommend you start your search for scholarships in your junior year.
