Check with your high school guidance office or public library for state and private sources of aid. Check foundations, religious organizations, town or city clubs. Include community organizations and civic groups such as the American Legion, Rotary Club, Lions, YMCA, 4-H clubs, Chamber of Commerce, and Girl or Boy Scouts. National Honor Society and National Merit Scholarships are available if you have high grades and you qualify. Be sure to check with your church.
Many churches have scholarships for college students.
Veterans are eligible for Veterans Educational Benefits and for all other federal, state and college aid. First-year students must file an application for benefits with their local V.A. office. You will be sent this form after your application and fee are received in the Admissions Office. If you wish to complete the form earlier, obtain one from your high school guidance office. It is to the student s advantage to apply for aid as early as possible.
