Outside Help

Looking for outside help is a great way to assist in paying for college, as oftentimes your financial aid will not cover your entire costs. One of the best ways to find outside assistance is in your own community:

Your local church
Elks Clubs
Rotary Clubs
Kiwanis
Community Foundations
Scholarship Resource Books
Local businesses

Searching for outside scholarships has never been more accessible. There are nearly endless possibilities to find help!
