College and Career Counselling

Welcome to the our bulletin advising parents and students on available scholarships. Hundreds of organizations, foundations, corporations, and colleges/universities offer thousands of dollars every year to high school students to be used towards their college education.  Each scholarship is unique and requires specific qualifications.  


Remember to save any work you do for each scholarship as you may apply for many over the next several months and the information can be reused.

 

For additional information on other available scholarships you may either refer to the Naviance website  and/or the Scarsdale High School Library website (see College and Career).

 

Please note that we do not recommend applying for scholarships that require any fee.
