• 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!
