What are some scholarships for college during high school as dual enrolled?

I'm currently a junior in high school and thinking about dual enrolling in college courses next year. Are there any scholarships available specifically for dual-enrolled high school students? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Sure, there are some scholarships out there specifically intended to help dual-enrolled high school students afford college courses.

One example includes the Rotary Club Scholarship. Many local Rotary Clubs often offer scholarships to high school students taking college courses. The requirements for each scholarship may vary, so checking with your local Rotary Club would be beneficial.

Similarly, various educational foundations also offer scholarships for dual-enrolled students. These foundations aim to encourage high school students to get a head start on their university careers. It's a good idea to research such organizations in your state.

Another option is institutional scholarships provided by the dual-enrollment school itself. Many community colleges or universities offer scholarships to dual-enrolled high school students to attract top academic performers. Contacting the financial aid office at the college you're considering for dual enrollment might help identify these opportunities.

For national scholarships, you'd still be eligible to apply for most scholarships as a high school junior or senior, even while dual-enrolled. Just ensure that the scholarships or awards you apply to do not have stipulations about enrollment status or age.

Lastly, and one of the best resources, would be the high school guidance counselor or a college-to-career coordinator at your school. They are usually aware of local and regional scholarships available to dual-enrolled students.

Remember, when searching for any scholarship, it is important to start early, meet all deadlines, and tailor your application to the specific criteria set by the scholarship provider.
