GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT
Dear Students and Parents:
In an effort to assist you in locating scholarships, the School
Counseling Department at Bloomfield High School has compiled a
listing of scholarships organized by the month of their deadline.
Students should read this booklet carefully and pursue scholarships for which they are eligible. The scholarship entries have
been carefully checked, however the deadlines and availabilities of
the scholarships may change. Therefore it is the students responsibility to apply to appropriate scholarships and contact the appropriate scholarship committees.
This booklet is meant to only serve as a guide, and students should
familiarize themselves with the scholarship binder located in the
guidance officer for more information on each scholarship. As
soon as scholarships arrive, they are placed in the scholarship
binder in the guidance office. Scholarships may also be found in
the Greater Hartford Area College Scholarships Directory. If a
scholarship required a fee, please check with your counselor regarding the authenticity of this scholarship.
Again, it is the responsibility of the student to seek out scholarships and apply for them. The guidance counselor is there to direct and assist them, but students should be independently pursuing appropriate scholarships. Please contact your guidance counselor with additional questions or concerns regarding the scholarship process.
Sincerely,
The Bloomfield High School Guidance Department
