Private Scholarships


Scholarships are forms of aid that help students pay for their education. Like grants, they do not have to be repaid. Hundreds of thousands of scholarships from several thousand sponsors are awarded each year.

Typically, scholarships are awarded for students with special qualifications, such as academic, athletic or artistic talent. Awards are also available for students who are interested in particular fields of study, who are members of underrepresented groups, who live in certain areas of the country, or who demonstrate financial need.

Private Scholarships

These are scholarships funded by private businesses & corporations (Wegmans, ESPN, Bausch & Lomb), civic organizations (Lions Club, Rotary Club, American Legion), and other groups.

Students normally research and apply for these scholarships on their own.

The best places to find scholarship information would be:

Places of employment for Parents and/or student.
Local Libraries.
High Schools.
Internet.
