June is an ideal time to do scholarship searching and planning. Many schools/districts compile a list, such as this one, that they add to throughout the school year.
Reviewing these lists now is one of the most productive things you can do for your scholarship search. These lists are often cleared over the summer; in June, a full list is at your fingertips! Pro tip: Many of these opportunities are local, which usually equals fewer applicants.
Since most scholarships are offered annually, students can plan ahead to identify which scholarships they’ll apply for and when. Ask your school counselor how to access your school's/district's scholarship resources if you don't see them online.
Additional sources of scholarship information include:
JLV College Counseling Scholarship Lists (by major, demographics, interests, etc.)
Student Scholarships (a weekly newsletter is available)
There are scholarships available for all kinds of things. Heard of the Create-A-Greeting-Card Scholarship? The Vegetarian Scholarship? The American Fence Association Scholarship? These are just 3 examples of unique, annual scholarships available for students.
Parents can help by reviewing lists and noting potential scholarships. Want an easy-to-use organizer? Here’s one that we created for our students:
