SCHOOL DEPENDENT SCHOLARSHIPS
Disclaimer

Must be accepted by and attend the school to receive the named scholarship.
CHECK WITH COLLEGES FOR PRIORITY APPLICATION DATES
THAT DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR THEIR SCHOLARSHIPS

Only a small sampling of known scholarships requiring scholarship application or other attachments to be considered are listed. Check with ALL schools that interest you and with their alumnae associations for scholarships and application deadlines. This is not intended to be a complete list!
If the scholarship from any college, listed or not, requires a nomination, speak with your counselor. He/she will not nominate you without your expressed interest, and he/she cannot know about all such opportunities.
Parents and students are encouraged to plan ahead. Many scholarship applications cannot be completed quickly. Many applications require attachments from several sources and tend to be due earlier than you might expect.
Green date denotes information received in 2008 - 2009 that verifies this data from previous years. Check with the named college if not verified.
"Guaranteed Scholarships" This is not a complete list, but it does offer information on several scholarships offered by the listed colleges. There is also advertising on this site: you do not need to respond to the advertising..
