Helpful Hints:
There are 3 main areas to check for scholarships: 1.) the college you plan on attending, (they will have a scholarship page on their website), 2.) National scholarship search engines
(such as scholly.com app, fastweb.com, schoolsoup.com, or scholarships.com, etc.) and 3.) the local list on the guidance counseling page at aquinschools.org.
Go to jeanniebrinkmeier.weebly.com, click on Guidance Counseling, choose College & Scholarship link. There are also links to some of the scholarship search engines
provided above.
