Please reach out to Mrs. Henrie for any questions concerning scholarships 👍

1️⃣Identify and make a list of your strengths, interests, and even hardships.

2️⃣See what scholarships your top colleges offer:
Explore the eligibility requirements for the academic/merit scholarships to help you know what to expect. Look for other scholarships offered by the college - Departmental, Alumni, Involvement, Ambassador, and other non-academic awards.

3️⃣Look for Local Private Scholarships: Over 90% of the private scholarships that VHS students receive are from LOCAL businesses, banks, non-profit organizations, employers etc. For a current list of these opportunities see the monthly VHS scholarship newsletter.

4️⃣Look for National Private Scholarships:

5️⃣Focus on scholarships that are a good fit:
There are scholarships for academic merit, musical or artistic talent, athletics, multicultural, and more.

Apply early, and often. You'll learn a lot from the experience, and as you practice, you'll get better. Don't be discouraged by rejection!
