EXTERNAL SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
You may be eligible for a specific scholarship or grant from
an outside organization. Some sources to explore are employers,
unions, professional organizations, community and special interest
groups. Usually these are one-time awards given to high school
graduates who have received them on the basis of academic achievement,
though some have other criteria and some are renewable. If you
are receiving outside scholarships in addition to federal sources
of aid, you are required (by federal law) to report these scholarships
to the Office of Financial Aid.
