SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarship information/deadlines will be updated as they are received. It is the student's responsibility to pick up or download the scholarship application and complete the forms as instructed. Students are encouraged to utilize online applications if they are available. The majority of scholarships are online. However, the scholarships that do not list a website can be found in the counselor's office. Please note that some applications may not be available until closer to the deadlines.
Please pay attention to the scholarship deadlines, requested materials(transcripts, essays, etc.), and where to turn in the completed applications. If letters of recommendation are needed, please give individuals sufficient time to complete these (approximately two weeks).
Scholarships in YELLOW are specific to WN students.
Each college/university has its scholarships for incoming freshmen. Please check your prospective college/university's financial aid website for more information.
Be aware of scams-As you search for scholarships, be aware of scholarship scams. Do not provide credit card information to use a free scholarship search. Be sure to read the fine print before providing too much information, as some companies may send you unwanted information about other services they offer or sell your information.
Please note: The scholarship postings do not represent an endorsement or an affiliation with these programs. The postings are potentially beneficial information for high school students searching for scholarships.
