The Scholarship Process
Scholarship money is available to seniors. However, researching and applying for scholarships can be an involved process.
The first place to look for scholarships is from the school you are planning to attend. Colleges and universities offer scholarships to incoming freshmen, but they are usually very competitive and are primarily based on academic performance. However, individual schools within the college may also offer scholarships that are specific to your choice of major. The best way to start is by visiting the college’s website and then finding your way to the financial aid or scholarship section. All you need to know about available scholarships at that particular school will most likely be listed there.
Private scholarship sources, such as those linked with businesses, organizations, service clubs, fraternities and sororities, or charities, make up a small slice of the total financial aid pie. Parents can also check with their employers or alma maters to determine if any scholarships are available. Leesville also offers a few scholarships funded by the PTSA and alumni foundations. Nonetheless there are a number of scholarship opportunities—the trick is finding which ones are applicable to your individual situation.
The Leesville scholarship bulletin will be published several times throughout the school year. This is by no means an exhaustive list; websites are listed below to assist with other scholarship searches. Be forewarned—the application process for scholarships is often as detailed as applying for college and sometimes the rewards are not large. The most important thing to remember is to never pay for a scholarship or for scholarship information.
Criteria and instructions for applying for the scholarships listed on the bulletin will be clearly explained. It is vital that students read and follow directions!
