Scholarships for High School Seniors

High School Seniors

As a high school senior, the pressure is on. And we're not just talking the university and college admissions process, but finding and applying for scholarships for college, too. At this point, securing financial aid and scholarships during your last year of high school are just as important as getting into that dream school.

There are plenty of scholarship opportunities for 12th grade students, and the more you apply for now, the better your odds at winning multiple scholarships. You'll also be thankful you put in the time, as a college graduate without student loans and less college debt than your peers.

Scholarships for United States high school students range from small, school-specific awards to national contests and competitions. Some of which require a certain GPA or for you to demonstrate financial need. Others are quick and easy, with fewer requirements.

Class of 2025: Don't let senioritis slow you down; stay focused and keep applying for scholarships for high school seniors. With the help of Fastweb, you can quickly find the right scholarships that fit YOU!
