Be careful of scholarship search services Each year many high school students across the country are bombarded by letters from scholarship search companies, who will, for a fee, perform a scholarship search to identify possible sources of financial aid for the student. Parents and students are cautioned not to spend their money for such a service. A student or parent can perform a search for scholarships for free either at the high school or from their home on the Internet. The Fastweb database is the largest compilation of scholarship information available. No student should pay money to find out about or apply for financial aid for college.
All legitimate applications are free as is the information about financial aid.
The high school sponsored a financial aid night for parents in December and counselors are available daily for private conferences with parents and students. Current scholarship announcements Many scholarship applications are available in the counseling center at the high school. See your counselor for applications or visit the counseling center's resource room. Eligible students receive a scholarship voucher at the high school. The student must submit the voucher to an eligible Ohio institution of higher education.
