Grad 2025

From Scholar Tree:
Scholarship season is fully underway. Over 10 Million Dollars worth of scholarships are currently open for applications on ScholarTree! This week alone, we have added 20 scholarships worth over $120,000.

Once students complete their profiles, they will be matched to all the awards they qualify for. However, many students miss that at the top left-hand corner of their scholarship list, they can filter scholarships by various categories: Program of Study, Ethnicity, Financial Need, etc. 

A list of scholarships available this month can be found in this link

Here are two unique scholarships: Scholar Tree recognizes that in these uncertain economic times, more people are worried about finances than usual, so they created a short presentation about where students can find scholarships and provide tips to improve their scholarship applications- link here
