• 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.

    Yes, it is HARD to get scholarships! But just think… If you spend two hours on
    one scholarship and you end up winning it, that’s quite the payout!

    • These regional scholarships are not affiliated with your school or district. It is your responsibility to submit your applications and documents based on the instructions provided. 

     

    **IMPORTANT!!- Don't forget to come back to the Regional Scholarship Link and make a new copy to receive updated information. The copy you make is not automatically updated.
