Scholarships for high school students
It is never too early to think about your college education and for seniors in high school it is time to start considering your scholarship options. Depending on the level of scholarship it might cover part payment for your tuition right through to your complete college costs (tuition, accommodation, school books and materials). There are many scholarships for high school students that must be applied for before entering college.
Your guidance counsellor should be able to tell you about the scholarships that you are eligible for and help you with the application. They can also advise you of the application requirements and explain exactly what will be required to have the best chance of winning the scholarship. It is a good idea to try and apply for as many scholarships as possible because the acceptance rate can be quite low, especially if the competition for the scholarship is high.
It is also a good idea to check out your preferred college as they may offer scholarships to new applicants. These are generally academic scholarships and sporting scholarships, but there may be other types available as well. As a high school student it is important to keep more than one college in mind in case you do not get accepted to your first preference.
