Scholarships
Opening doors to bright futures
Applications For 2024 Are Open as of December 1!
Through the generosity of our donors, we have more than $1.7 million in scholarships available in 2024 to students from more than 70 high schools. We offer scholarships to high school seniors, college and nontraditional students, and K-12 art and music camps and lessons.
Our Scholarship Portal makes it easy to apply to and manage scholarship applications and follow-up actions.
Getting Started in Two Easy Steps:
When you are ready to apply, you can click the Search For Scholarships button below to find scholarships by name, school, and type of scholarship. You can also view the eligibility criteria and see how to apply.
In a new tab or window, set up your login and profile page on the Scholarship Portal:
Note: Use an email you can access long term. Applicants should NOT use student school emails to register, as we send award information post-high school and college.
