Seniors!
There is still scholarship money to be had. See below for a few opportunities that I have been notified about recently. Also, check out the documents attached. There are very helpful resources available if anyone still needs help with financial aid or scholarships. As always, feel free to reach out to the counselors as well.
Good luck! Mr. Van Remmen
