Scholarship Opportunities
The primary focus of your search for merit-based scholarships should be those offered from the colleges to which you apply. You will also want to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), along with any other financial aid application required by your colleges, to ensure that you will be considered for all potential forms of financial aid.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of all possible scholarships, rather those that have asked Signature to publicize them.
These scholarships are listed in order of approaching deadlines.
Listed below are several well-known free scholarship search services. We highly recommend that you do not use scholarships search services that charge a fee.

- Chegg Scholarships
- Community Foundation Alliance
