<p>Discover-Tribute for Juniors</p>
<p>You can find these by googling. You can also find a whole lot more by doing broad searches on Google like high school scholarships, then, scholarships for high school or high school college and career centers. If you add your city, then you can narrow the search to other schools in your area. Try the same with college names. Get specific: "Math Scholarships", "Science Sch", "Sch for Engeineers". Get Creative. Start nowits very time consuming! </p>
<p>Local:<br>
Rotary, Masons, local Elk Clubs, regional Elks such as CA Elks Disability, local banks and Credit Unions, local real estate organizations and computer groups, local Womens Clubs, Emblem Clubs, area newspapers. Use the phone book and newspapers to find them. School sponsored such as Athletic Boosters. </p>
<p>Please remember, the natl scholarships are very competitive. Some of the local ones are as well. You really need to distinguish yourself by your grades and/or ecs. If you dont have what the criteria stipulate, dont waste your time/postage to apply. Make friends with a favorite teacher and community support personyou will need recommendations from them (give them a resume to remind them of all of your accomplishments.) Make each essay fresh and speak to the prompt for that particular scholarship. Don't be afraid to talk about your achievements and awards. If you have the goods, dont get discouragedmost scholarships are not awarded until after March. </p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
