Outside Scholarships

While Alma offers many great scholarship opportunities, there are a lot of other scholarships out there. 

Search Locally First

This includes some of the following places:

  • Your local Community Foundation
  • Clubs such as Rotary, Lions, and Elks
  • Parent(s) Employers
  • Church/Place of Worship (local, regional, and national)
  • Your High School

Deadlines

  • Searches are a yearly process and should start in early November
  • Most will have deadlines in February and March especially local sources
  • If you miss a deadline this year create a reminder for yourself to apply next year.
RULE #1 Never pay a fee for a scholarship service and never send money to receive money.
