Scholarships
Since we do not have a Career Coach any longer, all scholarships will be given to your English teacher to hand out.    
*  Ask your parents if their job offers scholarships.
*  Talk with your church or pastor to see if they have               scholarships.
*  Find out if your parents belong to organizations that
    have scholarships. 
*  To qualify for the Academic Challenge Lottery 
    Scholarship, you must have an ACT composite score of 19
    or higher and be an Arkansas resident.  
*  Start searching scholarships online.  You can begin with         sites such as "Fund My Future", "Cappex" and "Unigo".  
*  When you are looking at colleges online, check out their        financial aid/scholarship pages.
