Scholarships
Scholarships are a valuable way to help pay for college or career training without taking on debt. They provide financial support based on academic achievement, leadership, community service, special talents, or financial need.
To earn scholarships, students should start early. Below are some scholarship websites students can explore. It's important to stay organized, meet deadlines, and submit strong applications that highlight accomplishments, goals, and personal stories. Many scholarships also require essays, letters of recommendation, or proof of involvement in extracurricular activities—so being active and well-prepared can make a big difference.

FAFSA stands for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. It is a form that students in the United States fill out to apply for financial aid for college or career school. The FAFSA determines your eligibility for:
-
Federal grants (like the Pell Grant)
-
Work-study programs
-
Federal student loans
-
Some state and school-based aid
Filling out the FAFSA is free and should be done each year a student plans to attend college. The information you provide (like income, family size, etc.) helps calculate how much aid you might receive.
You can apply online at https://studentaid.gov.
Tip: The earlier you apply, the better—some aid is given on a first-come, first-served basis.
