Scholarship Resources

​

Make sure to check out the Financial Aid & Scholarships section on college websites for specific information related to their campus. And you should NEVER pay for a scholarship matching service. If a site is requesting money, it is a scam!

​

Tips for accessing scholarships:

• Make a copy of the SB Unified Scholarship List Below. Highlight each scholarship that you may be eligible for. This can be done in your first couple of years of high school so that you're prepared with a list of scholarships you plan to apply to your Senior year.

• Read each scholarship application thoroughly so you are aware of the application deadline and can plan to submit it several days prior to the deadline, if possible.

• Ask another person to review your scholarship application essay(s), if application.  Attention to details might make the difference in whether or not you receive the scholarship.

• Make sure to check out the Financial Aid & Scholarships section on college websites for specific information related to their campus.
