I'm a high school junior in Delaware and looking for scholarships available to in-state students. Does anyone have tips on where I can find these scholarships or know of any specific ones I should look into?
Of course, there are several places you can look for scholarships that are specific to Delaware high school students:
1. Local organizations: Many local Delaware organizations and businesses sponsor scholarships for students. Check with your high school's guidance counselor to see what may be available in your community.
2. Delaware Higher Education Office: This particular state agency offers numerous scholarships and grants. Some examples include the Charles L. Hebner Memorial Scholarship (for political science/history majors) and the Delaware Public Benefit Scholarship.
3. Delaware Community Foundation: This organization has a "scholarship compendium" which lists many scholarship opportunities for high school students in various regions of Delaware.
4. College/University scholarships: If you already have a few colleges in mind, check their financial aid office websites for specific scholarships for in-state students. Many colleges in Delaware such as University of Delaware, Delaware State University, and Wilmington University have their own scholarships for in-state students.
5. Online scholarship search platforms: Websites like Appily, Fastweb, or Scholarship.com allows you to conduct a nation-wide scholarship search. You can customize your search to only return scholarships for which you, as a Delaware high school student, would be eligible.
Remember to start searching and applying as soon as possible, as some scholarships may have early deadlines. Good luck with your scholarship search!
