Searching for and applying for scholarships can be overwhelming, but the right strategies can make all the difference! In our virtual Scholarships Seminar on March 12, 2025, we explored how to unlock scholarship opportunities, what it takes to stand out to selection committees, common myths and realities about private scholarships, how AI tools can simplify the search, and more. If you missed it or want a refresher, you can watch the recordings in English and Spanish below.
Who: 7th-12th grade students, their families, and school counselors.
