Scholarships
You applied to college, you applied for FAFSA, now what?
When attending college, there are many costs to consider, including tuition, room and board, food, books, technology, and personal expenses.
While FAFSA and student loans can help cover some of these costs, it is important to minimize student loan debt whenever possible. Scholarships are a valuable resource to help reduce overall college expenses, and many different types of scholarships are available to explore.
Do not miss out on these opportunities. Be sure to regularly check Schoology, where your CCMR counselor and academic counselors will post scholarship information and updates.
