Scholarship lists are not available on just one site.  It is very important that you conduct numerous scholarship searches (several trustworthy sites are available at the bottom of this page), contact the college you plan to attend to find out about their scholarship opportunities, and view the list that is available in Naviance (this list only contains specific scholarships that have been sent directly to the counseling office AND all of the local scholarships).

If you have any questions regarding the legitimacy of a scholarship web site, please contact me or education quest and they will research the validity of the site.

Follow these tips to increase your chances of earning scholarships:  

Don’t pay for scholarship services! Free resources include ScholarshipQuest at EducationQuest.org, your school counselor’s office, and EducationQuest offices in Omaha, Lincoln and Kearney.
 
Focus on college-based and local scholarships. You’re more likely to earn them over large national awards.
 
Continually update your activities, honors and volunteer or paid jobs using the Activities Resume at EducationQuest.org.
 
Earn the best possible ACT/SAT scores by taking the exams in the spring of your junior year and again in the fall of your senior year.
 
Use quality references such as a teacher, coach or counselor. Give them advance notice, a specific deadline, and a copy of your Activities Resume.
 
Ask at least two people to proofread your application.

Majority of them will need to be turned in to Mrs. Hanel.  If you have any questions about any of these opportunities, please ask Mrs. Hanel. 

All local scholarships will use the same cover page.  The cover page is a fill-in form that you can fill in the information, include the name of the scholarship that you are applying to, and print. (Cover page is found in the scholarship list in Naviance) **Most important information about the cover page - you MUST get Microsoft Word downloaded on your computer to access the fill-in document.  Please see Mr. Molzahn to have him download the program.

Most local scholarships are due by March 1.
