SCHOLARSHIPS & FINANCIAL AID

Scholarships are considered "FREE" money because they do not require repayment. Scholarships are offered for a wide variety of criteria. Some require high academics while others are based on unique student qualities such as being left-handed. Please review the database weekly as it is updated often. Apply for all you are eligible for and see your counselor for any questions. You will find a sampling of local and national scholarships here.
All students who are planning to go to college MUST complete the FAFSA.  The FAFSA is the application you fill out to become eligible for the HOPE lottery scholarship & to be considered for grants and student loans. It is also a required step for TN Promise. All 2023 graduates need to fill out the 2023-2024 FAFSA.  The FAFSA application will be available on October 1, 2022. Please click on the tab to the left to learn more about the FAFSA and to begin filling out the application.
