Scholarships are arriving now!
This page will update seniors and parents on the latest scholarships that have arrived in the Counseling Center. If there are questions, contact me in the Center by phone, email (cwalter@audubon.k12.ia.us) or stop in for a visit. If anyone is aware of a scholarship that is not posted here, please bring the information in so that all AHS seniors can take advantage of it.
As seniors begin narrowing their choices of college (and even if not yet) they should be checking those colleges still being considered for freshman scholarship opportunities. Because of the volumes of campus based scholarships, they cannot all be listed here. So it is important that they check the institution's website for a financial aid scholarship link.
