Seniors! Here are the scholarships that I am aware of! There are more out there, but you
will have to look for them. Most can be searched for online. Also, make sure you ask
your employers if there are any scholarships available for employees and ask your
parents/guardians if their workplace offer scholarships for dependent children!
Good luck!
