SCHOLARSHIPS, SCHOLARSHIPS, SCHOLARSHIPS!!

Seniors:

Here is a list of scholarships that are local, which means you are only competing against local kids for these scholarships!  Your odds are much better with local scholarships because the basket of eligible applicants is smaller.  These are posted on the "Scholarship Postings" tab above, all the time, along with other scholarship opportunities.  Let's get on it!
