Searching for scholarships is a student-directed activity that requires planning, committment, and persistence.  The best place for students to search for scholarships is online. Our advice to students:

• Look for free search engines with personalized searches based on your qualifications.  See below for examples.
  
• Avoid websites that charge fees or promise excessive unclaimed scholarships; they are usually scams.
• Check college websites or talk to college admissions counselors for college-specific scholarships.
• Check Naviance regularly as new scholarships are posted when received.  Scholarship information mailed to MSHS is also posted in the Career Center.
• Apply for Local Scholarships through MSHS.  Information about local scholarships will be provided during a Senior Meeting held at the end of February and then posted on this website.
• Access scholarship advice from the US Department of Education here: https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/types/grants-scholarships/finding-scholarships.
