- You will be told about the vast amount of scholarship funds that go unclaimed each year. The unclaimed funds are ones that most students could never qualify for due to tight restrictions.
- Start your preliminary search in the junior year by looking at the Nouvel Catholic Central website for scholarships. Some scholarships have an October deadline; a fact to keep in mind in your senior year.
- Contact the aid office at your college of choice to seek their help (they really do love to give out money)
- Apply for local scholarships even though they may not have a large dollar value
- Apply for every scholarship offered through Nouvel Catholic Central to our students (Rose Watson [look for this in late February], Catholic Federal, Nouvel [look for these in March] scholarships)
- Pay careful attention to deadlines as they may come up quickly and are not usually extended
- Check with your parents and their place of employment for possible scholarships.
- Check to see if the scholarships you have earned are renewable
