We post all scholarship information we get and encourage students to explore each and every opportunity that they are eligible for. All college-bound seniors should start investigating scholarships and grants as soon as possible. Those who really know how to dig and work for scholarship money are the ones who usually will reap the most benefits. For federal financial aid, the applications are not available until after January 1 for the following school year. We also tell students to be sure to contact each school they have been accepted at and inquire about campus-based
