April 18 Scholarships

A few reminders:

**This is the LAST Scholarship List for the year.  Make sure you take advantage of these opportunities.

** After you graduate, you won’t be eligible for many of the scholarships we’ve listed this year.  Most colleges have a scholarship section on their website for current students.  Check there early in your freshman year so that you don’t miss out!

NOW IS THE TIME

• Clackamas Community College Reps will be in the Career Center on May 3^rd to talk with interested Seniors. It’s NOT TOO LATE to go to CCC next year.
• If you are going to a 2-year or career school, you should do your application soon if you haven’t already. You should have already filed your FAFSA & applied for Oregon Promise.
• If you are going to a 4-year college, you should have applied, submitted SAT or ACT scores, and filed your FAFSA by now.

 

• Letters with financial aid offers should be coming from colleges in the next month. You will have to sign an acceptance form.

 

Below are the applications for all of the Local (Canby-only) Scholarships. Each application is a fillable PDF, so you can type your information into the cover sheet & print it out.  Type essay answers in a separate document.
