complete scholarship interest forms when directed to do

Please pay close attention to internal deadlines for school
nominated scholarships. Interest forms received after the
deadlines may not be processed.
You may ask your assigned counselor for information regarding
scholarships.

scholarship file cabinet in Student Services.
