In addition to applying for financial aid, seniors can also research scholarships. Here are some basic steps when considering where to start looking for scholarships.
1) Check the campus financial aid websites you applied to
2) Check with your parent's employers
3) If you or your parents belong to any local organizations (church, Rotary, etc.), check if they offer scholarships
4) Check out Carlmont's Scholarship List on Naviance. To view the list, log into Naviance then go to the "college" tab and scroll down to Scholarship Search. This list is mostly local and state scholarship opportunities.
5) Search known websites that have a list of scholarships or offer scholarships (see links below).
Our own Carlmont PTSA offers scholarships in the amount of $750. Up to 10 scholarships may be awarded by the Carlmont PTSA to deserving applicants.
To qualify for the Carlmont High School PTSA scholarship, students must be a registered member of the PTSA by February and must be or have been a volunteer for our school and/or community. Please note: this year the scholarship is focused on community service and does not have a leadership component as in previous years. More information on this scholarship will be available soon.
