SENIORS: The Community Scholarship Program applications are OPEN!! 


Attached is a video explaining how to apply. You can find a full list of scholarships and their requirements HERE.

All links needed for the CSP are located on our LN Counseling website!


A few things to think about - 


  • Download the Processing Guide! It will walk you step by step through the application process.
  • Don’t be afraid of the essay! It is a great way for a scholarship committee to get to know you a little better. You are awesome and have so much to offer! Let them see that too!
  • Some of these scholarships ask you to submit an additional essay. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to write, edit and submit it with your application. 
  • Some scholarships ask for a letter of recommendation. Be sure to give your recommender plenty of time to write a letter and submit it on your behalf. 15 business days is a good rule of thumb.
  • Refer to the Helpful Tips for Scholarships page for suggestions on how to ask for letters of recommendation and how to send the perfect email.
  • Don’t be overwhelmed! We know it looks like a lot, but we promise it really is just 3 easy steps to apply!
  • Ready to go? Head to the application and get started!
