Looking for scholarships can almost be like a part-time job and you have to be willing to put some time and effort into the search. The institutions you will be attending are your greatest resource for financial aid, however, please take a look at our local scholarship list and web based scholarship search engines to help guide you.

Link to Western Undergraduate Exchange

The Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) is an agreement among WICHE’s 16 members, through which 160+ participating public colleges and universities provide steep nonresident tuition savings for Western students. 

Link to FAFSA Information

FAFSA opens in December this year. Before each year of college, apply for federal grants, work-study, and loans with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA^®) form. Your college uses your FAFSA data to determine your federal aid eligibility. Many states and colleges use FAFSA data to award their own aid.



Private schools have different funding than public schools for these programs. We do not have access to the Advanced Opportunities Funds provided by the state, but our students do have access to SOAP funds. Parents/students who have AP or DC classes will need to pay for the courses, and then parents/students will get reimbursed. Please click on the link here for more information about SOAP.
