High School

Scholarships are awarded to a student based on academic achievement (ACT score, GPA, course load, etc.) and/or need, depending on the source of funds.

Students are primarily responsible for identifying and applying for scholarships. They will need to search for scholarships, fill out the paperwork, and bring the completed scholarship into the counselor’s office if recommendation letters or official transcripts are required. It is critical that the completed application is submitted by the deadline date. 
Possible resources for scholarships are as follows:

• Scholarships file in counseling office
• Scholarships listed on the counselors’ page
• Scholarship search engines
• University Scholarships
• Local, area & state scholarships
• Check with employers (A number of companies provide scholarship money for their employees and their families)
• Bright Flight-Mo Dept of Higher Education
