The following scholarship/award list is updated to the best of our ability throughout the school year. Availability, funding, eligibility requirements and due dates change from year to year and are available on the website and application links listed below. We have attempted to make this a bit more user-friendly by sorting into three categories: Local, State and National. The guidance office will also periodically place flyers in senior mailboxes and also utilize the TV message screen to alert students of upcoming deadlines. Please remember, there is an abundance of money out there for the taking! A bit of work may result in monetary rewards!
Resources & Scholarships for Homeless and Housing-Insecure Students:
https://www.publicservicedegrees.org/resources/higher-education-resources-for-homeless-students/
This page provides an extensive list of on-campus, community, government, and online resources that are dedicated to helping homeless and housing-insecure students. And as the title suggests, we also provide information on scholarships and other financial aid opportunities that can help offset the cost of tuition and housing.
The team at Study.com recognizes that students experiencing homelessness might have questions about applying for and attending college that might be difficult to find answers to. That's why we have recently developed a comprehensive college guide for students experiencing homelessness. Our goal is to inform them about critical information regarding their college education and share different resources that will help set them up for success. Our College Guide for Students Experiencing Homelessness offers in-depth information in several areas, including:
A guide to the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act and the Homeless Bill of Rights
A comprehensive list of resources for housing help, essentials assistance, health assistance, community support, and academic support
