The college and career center has recently updated information about various local scholarships on the school website, ranging from essay contests to career specific opportunities. According to college and career technician Jacqueline Seider, some scholarships are available to all students regardless of grade level.

“It’s very important for students to take advantage of as many scholarship opportunities as they can,” Seider said. “There are so many scholarships that go unawarded because students either don’t apply or don’t know about them, so I am passionate about trying to get the word out. College is very expensive and it would be wonderful to see our students graduate from college without a huge amount of student debt.”
