Community Scholarship Opportunities

We just got word of a few public scholarships available.  Remember, looking for private scholarships should continue throughout your education.  Every year, there are thousands of public scholarships that go unclaimed due to lack of public interest.  Invest a couple of hours per week in looking for, and applying to, different scholarship programs and it could really pay off.  

NOTE: Reputable scholarship programs do not require any payments or financial commitments from the applicant. If a scholarship program asks you to pay an application fee, it is a SHAM - talk to Neumont's Financial Aid Department for more information about different public scholarship programs.
