Like grants, they do not have to be repaid. Generally, scholarships are reserved for students with special qualifications, such as financial need and\/or academic, athletic, or artistic talent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Institutional scholarships can be based on financial need, academic ability, or outstanding talent. Many are offered by private colleges and universities, as well as from other sources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">When looking for scholarships, please consider the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #000000;text-decoration: underline\">Contact the financial aid office when applying to colleges to learn about scholarship opportunities.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Check the scholarships listed in Naviance often. We update the list as we receive information.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Start looking for scholarships in your junior year<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Scholarship deadlines are not flexible and some applications are due soon after being publicized.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Scholarship opportunities are often overlooked . Be sure to check with your and\/or your parents place of employment. Also, be sure to check with any community organizations you or your family are involved in for scholarship opportunities.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><\/h2>\n\n\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;color: #000000\">Local Scholarships<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Civic organizations, local charities, and private donors are very generous to EHS seniors each spring at graduation through our Senior Local Scholarships program. The Emmaus community offers many financial awards at graduation for which seniors must apply. In some cases, a standard EHS scholarship application is used and recipients are determined by an EHS scholarship committee. In other cases, the organization provides its own scholarship application, and they choose the winner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Information regarding Local Senior Scholarships becomes available in late winter\/early spring of a student&#8217;s senior year. This list, as well as instructions to apply for these scholarships, will be posted on Naviance, students&#8217; Class of 20xx Schoology Courses, on our website and on our social media once the information is finalized. Contact Mrs. Burk or Ms. Baranek if you have questions regarding this program.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;color: #000000\">Other External Websites<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">The following sites\/links are suggested resources, we do our very best to provide you with free sites, but please be aware there may be some sites that require a nominal fee.
