There are many scholarships out there for students. Below are a few that I have found that are beneficial to you.
Website for Scholarship Help
Going Merry (www.goingmerry.com) is a new scholarship website - it makes finding and completing scholarship applications easier. There is a big waiting list but all of you can skip it when you sign up here: app.goingmerry.com/sign-up. This is NOT a scholarship application, but rather a legitimate website to assist in your scholarship search.
Buchanan Promise
The Buchanan Promise is offered to students who live in the Buchanan School district (you can verify that here) and attended a Buchanan school (either the High School or BVA) from at least 9th grade to graduation. If you think you qualify for this scholarship please apply here.
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute
This scholarship is for you if you demonstrate leadership, drive, integrity and citizenship. You are invited to apply for the 2020 GE-Reagan Foundation Scholarship Program. The program annually provides college-bound students with $10,000 renewable scholarships - up to $40,000 total per recipient - and supports them as they lead and serve in college and beyond.
