All scholarships received by the CHS Counseling Office are now listed in Xello under the "colleges" tab. If you need assistance with your Xello account, please contact the CHS Counseling Office.
Scholarship donors and agencies have their own sets of criteria on which they award money. The sources of these scholarships can come from high school clubs; individuals; business and industry groups; community, state, and national organizations; colleges and universities; and religious organizations. Scholarships may also be available through post-secondary schools, the student's employer, parents' employers, civic, religious, and other special interest organizations. Students who are looking for additional funds may wish to pursue a search of these possible sources directly and/or through a scholarship search on the internet.
As you are researching scholarship opportunities, beware of scams. Some things to be keep in mind are:
- You should never have to pay money to get money
- If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
- You should never give out your social security number or bank account information.
The criteria for each scholarship is as varied as the donor sources listed above. A common set of criteria for winning scholarships is generally academic excellence (achievement and quality of program), leadership (active participation in school and community organizations), service/commitment to school and community, and individual integrity.
The CHS Counseling Office receives scholarship notifications on a regular basis. We will try to inform you of new awards as they become available. Keep in mind that many colleges offer scholarships that are not listed. Contact the school you want to attend for specific information. Remember to watch deadlines! If the scholarship requires a transcript or other information official from the CHS Counseling Office, you must return the application at least five school-days prior to the application deadline.
