Local Scholarships
These are scholarships that are traditionally available, and to the best of our knowledge, they will continue to be available this school year. Contact your local guidance department for the most recent information about a particular scholarship. This is only a portion of the available scholarships. There are others! Check with your local guidance department.
Your local guidance can share other resources for exploring financial aid. One of the periodicals you may wish to consult is
Financial Aid for North Carolinians.
