COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS

Naviance

CB West receives information about various scholarships each year. These include private, community, organizational, and athletic scholarship opportunities for H.S. Seniors. Our Naviance scholarship list is kept updated throughout the year. Typically, we get more information after the winter break, so be sure to check the list frequently.

To access these applications, go to Naviance, click on the "College" tab, then link for "Scholarship List."    

Institutional Scholarships

Many colleges offer specific scholarships through their own institution.  These can include merit-based scholarships, memorial scholarships, and scholarships aimed at certain populations of students.  Check the colleges' Financial Aid and/or Scholarship webpages for specific eligibility and application instructions.  Some of these scholarships do NOT require the student to file the FAFSA.

Scholarship searches

National scholarship database websites can help pair students with scholarships they meet criteria for; however, keep in mind that these are available to high school seniors across the country, so many are competitive.
