Scholarship Tips!
To help you focus time and efforts when applying here is a list of 100% time worthy applications for scholarships given out every year at the FHS awards night. Some applications are paper and others are strictly online but information for all of them is available through JoDee Lindvall in the Counseling Office. Everyone should apply for these local scholarships so everyone has a chance to enjoy the generosity and local support your community has for your continued education.
