Scholarship Searches
Scholarship Search Tips
-
You can start looking for scholarships as early as 9th grade! There are opportunities available for all grade levels.
-
Apply to multiple scholarships! Start by searching for local or regional scholarships because those application pools will be smaller than large, national scholarship. For RJUHSD students, this would be Placer County or Greater Sacramento Region scholarships.
-
Dedicate a time every week to work on applications and essays. Schedule this time out like a job.
-
Many scholarships have similar essay prompts (ie: personal statements), so re-use essays by just tweaking things here and there.
