SEARCHING FOR SCHOLARSHIPS
-
Start looking for scholarships as early as FRESHMEN year of high school! There are tons of opportunities available for high school students of all grade levels.
-
Apply to multiple scholarships! Start by searching for local or regional scholarships (for RJUHSD students, this would be Placer County or Greater Sacramento Region scholarships).
-
Dedicate a time every week to peruse the scholarship lists for new scholarships and to complete the application and essay(s) required.
-
TIP: Many scholarships have similar essay prompts. You can re-use essays and just make a few tweaks.
