SCHOLARSHIP RESOURCES
There are three main types of scholarships:
1) LOCAL SCHOLARSHIPS - All local scholarships can be found HERE on the Park Hill South Scholarship Bulletin!

2) COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS -  Each college and university has their own scholarships to award to students.  Please check with your institution to see what scholarships are available.  This information can be found on the school's financial aid website. 

3) NATIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS - There are thousands of national scholarships available to students.  Many of these scholarships go unclaimed every year because no one applies for them. SEE BELOW:
In addition to the scholarships found on Naviance/Family Connection, check out these resources to search for national scholarships:

Park Hill South Scholarship Initiative for Juniors
​How would you like scholarship money for your student(s)? ​
Park Hill South has partnered with a number of universities and colleges to give students merit-based scholarships that meet their specific criteria using your education records.   

This summer, we have sent out to our partnering universities and colleges the education records for students who gave us parental permission. Students that meet scholarship criteria of our partnering schools will be awarded scholarships on the bases of their GPA, ACT scores, class rank, gender, ethnicity, etc. There is nothing you need to do to receive these scholarships except give us permission to share your information (your parents must do so if you are under 18). Download the permission form here. 

Juniors received a printed version of the permission form during Tutorial.  These forms were due back to the counseling department by May 19, 2017. 

This coming September, we will have a scholarship award party where students will find out all the scholarships they received from our partnering universities and colleges.  There is a chance they will receive various scholarships from multiple schools. ​
We are looking forward to working with you to help secure free money for your student. Please do not hesitate to contact our office if you have any questions at 816-359-4120.
