Reedsburg Area High School

Ongoing and Recently-Posted Scholarships

Many scholarships are available outside of the RAHS local program with different eligibility requirements, selection criteria, application procedures, and deadlines. The RAHS Counseling Office has compiled a listing of various outside scholarships that may be available for seniors, as well as underclassmen and graduates (see below). Always use caution when applying for scholarships and providing personal information; you should never need to pay a fee or provide your Social Security number when applying for a scholarship. Apply only to scholarships from trustworthy sources. Be aware that the information provided below is subject to change without prior notice.

• RAHS Outside Scholarship Guide: This guide is a starting point for students to research outside scholarships; however, availability and criteria change frequently and this listing serves only as a reference tool, not a comprehensive resource. Information within this guide is annually updated and revised. 
• Examples of other scholarship resources are FastWeb, StudentScholarships.org, Scholarships360, CollegeScholarships.org, Scholarship America, Outside Scholarships, CareerOneStop, and University Headquarters.

During the school year, students are encouraged to check their school email accounts and visit this website weekly to obtain current information about various scholarship opportunities as they are made available to our school. Scholarship fliers may be posted on the bulletin board near the Counseling Office and various paper applications may be obtained from the Counseling Office.
