Scholarships for College Students
Scholarships for High School Students
Many scholarships are available locally. I recommend you contact your schools counseling office and ask for any scholarships they are aware of. In addition, most schools have a shared scholarship application that can be used to apply for many local scholarships at once. In addition to the resources offered by your school, I hope you will find these resources helpful. At IMAGINE COLLEGE COACHING, we are always eager to help our local students.
We have a scholarship database that is updated every 24 hours. It is a simple process that organizes and saves scholarships specific to you. This saves valuable time and you can apply directly from our site. I highly recommend you take a look and sign up today for a small monthly feel. https://imaginescholarships.com/
