• College and Financial Aid

    As with anything, persistence pays off. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again! Students are encouraged to keep pursuing options in life. When one door closes, another will open. There are thousands of dollars in scholarship monies that go unclaimed because no one applied. Remain diligent and don’t be afraid to try…you never know what you’ll accomplish!

    WORDS OF CAUTION REGARDING SCHOLARSHIP SCAMS:

    • NEVER give out your Social Security, Credit Card, or Bank Account numbers to unsolicited emails or calls.
    • AVOID scholarship scams that have you pay a fee, or issue money back offers or guarantees.
    • AVOID unsolicited emails that encourage you to visit a website or click on suspicious links.
    • AVOID unsolicited emails that bear the logo of your bank or credit card. They may appear to be legitimate but are traps to lure you into giving out your personal or account information.
    • REPORT links or emails to a teacher or administrator to have them checked out and help others.
