Scholarships

There are thousands of scholarships available for graduating seniors: some from private organizations, some from colleges/universities, and some from local organizations such as 10,000 Degrees. You can utilize scholarship search engines such as FastwebScholarships dot com or College Board to search for possible scholarships. Remember to check with the Financial Aid offices of the colleges/universities to which you are applying for potential scholarship too!  Note: you should never pay a fee to apply for scholarships, or to be part of a scholarship search engine/company!

We encourage all TL seniors to apply for our local Terra Linda Scholarship Foundation awards (apply in the spring). The TLSF gives out dozens of scholarships solely to TL seniors each year!

Lastly, know that scholarships are not just free money given out to anyone who asks.  They will have certain requirements, such evidence of substantial community service and volunteering; hardships overcome; leadership; excellence in an academic subject; a proven track record of academic success which demonstrates your potential to succeed in college; letters of recommendation from teachers or adult supervisors that testify to your personal qualities and strengths; or one or more essays.  Many also have minimum GPA's.  As such, prepare for this as early as 9th grade, so that when you apply for scholarships as a senior, you have those factors in hand and are a strong applicant!
