Outside Scholarships
We encourage all students to apply for scholarships through multiple sources. Many
civic, church, and business groups offer scholarships. To learn about these scholarships,
students should contact local civic and business groups in their hometown or area
as well as local and national religious/church organizations.
There are also several scholarship search engines that students may use to search
for regional or national scholarships. Some of these search engines are:
