Through the generosity of alumni, community members, families of alumni, and various organizations, students are encouraged to apply for a number of scholarships.   The requirements for scholarships vary but are generally based on school involvement, academics, service to the community.  Financial need is not a requirement but is often a consideration.  While such an award confers special recognition and honor, the dollar amount of the award is part of the overall tuition assistance awarded to each family through the financial aid process.
