STEP THREE:

Complete the Online Application

By using GOapply, you can complete one application to apply for every scholarship for which you are eligible. Specific details about individual online scholarships are available below. The application deadline is May 1, 2024. Some scholarships require paper applications and are available in guidance offices and other locations. Separate applications are required for those scholarships.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Clicking “Submit” submits applications for each scholarship for which the applicant has opted in all at the same time. This action cannot be undone. Please be sure that you have fully completed responses to each question in the applications to which you are opting in before clicking “Submit”.

For any questions, please contact Meghan O'Brien, Director of Grants & Scholarships. For any technical issues, please contact Josh Jaeger, Database Administrator.
