Staff is extremely excited to introduce a fresh new web browsing experience for its families, students and visitors. As you visit sites, you will find that generic information is listed on school homepages. As staff return to the office in July, information specific to school sites will be updated. Department webmasters are feverishly working to appropriately link and build pages. Please remember that this is a work in progress and edits are coming or underway. We greatly appreciate your patience as we prepare for the upcoming school year!

Text that reads 'Scholarships for High School Seniors' with a teal line underneath.

 

If you’re going to college, your senior year of high school will be filled with a pretty intimidating to-do list. You’ll have to apply to college, sort through the financial aid information and decide where to go - on top of finishing out your high school education. In the midst of all that chaos, applying for scholarships can get lost in the shuffle. But while they may seem like an afterthought, scholarships are absolutely crucial if you want to reduce the cost of attendance. Click Here to learn how scholarships for high school seniors work, where to find them and how to apply.

The words 'California Scholarships' in black text with a teal curved line underneath.

 

Students who are residents of or are attending college in the Golden State should look for California scholarships to reduce the cost of attendance and keep student loans to a minimum. These scholarships can be fairly broad or designed for specific types of students. For example, some may be exclusively for those in specific counties or regions of California. Read on to learn how to find, apply for and win California scholarships.

Text on a blue background reads: 'College is hard - paying for it shouldn't be. Scholaroo helps you find your dream scholarships with none of the hassle.'

The TFS Scholarships logo features the letters 'tfs' in white on an orange background, with the word 'SCHOLARSHIPS' below.

 

The TFS difference - Our massive scholarship database provides you with access to $41 billion in funding, and grows at a rate of 5,000 new awards per month.

 

The best part is most of these opportunities come directly from colleges and universities - not just from competitive, national pools. That increases your odds of finding free money, and finding the right scholarships for you.
