Scholarship Info

Hello, members of the Class of 2023!

It is time to complete local scholarship applications! Remember that there are many different kinds of scholarships available to you. Many local organizations run their scholarship program through FFHS. Details for those are listed and submitted through our Scholarship Application Materials page. (That page will go live on Feb. 6.

Colleges and other nationwide programs have their own scholarship programs that you can learn more about through your college financial aid office/website and elsewhere online.
