For more information regarding specific endowed and restricted scholarships and their criteria, please contact the Foundation Office or the Financial Aid Office. The sponsor administering the award determines contract obligations and award amounts. Areas offering performance awards include Band, Vocal, VICA, Agriculture, Drama, AEC, Student Ambassadors, Student Senate, Admissions, Athletic, Student Trainers, Dance Line, and Cheerleading. Applications for part-time scholarships may be picked up at the Financial Aid Office or will be mailed at the student's request. The priority deadline for part-time scholarship applications is one week prior to the start of the class.
Criteria vary according to the organization.
Interested students should contact the local organization offering the scholarship. Foundations, religious organizations, fraternities or sororities, town or city clubs, and community and civic groups such as the American Legion, YMCA, 4-H club, Elks, Kiwanis, Jaycees, Chamber or Commerce, and the Girl or Boy Scouts may all be sources of scholarship money. Often, high school counselors will have a list of local community scholarships and who to contact. The public library is another source of information on private sources of aid. These organizations are listed in the U. S. Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook and are also listed in various directories of associations available at your public library.
