The OHS College and Career Readiness Center has produced a master scholarship list based off of information received from community scholarship donors, state and national donors. Below are the link to this list. It is sorted September - June, to follow our school year.
It is the students responsibility to double check the due date for the scholarship on the donors website. Don't wait until the last minute to apply! BTW, there are scholarship for ALL ages and grades!!
Scholarships are available from a variety of sources but your best source as a Senior applying to a school for post-high school will be the financial aid office of the college you attend. Be sure to contact them early and pay attention to deadlines. Every Senior should apply for FAFSA or WASFA. (Some scholarships even require it.) Most students qualify for some sort of financial aid, but you have to apply.
The College Bound Scholarship program is an early commitment of state financial aid to eligible students who sign up in middle school and fulfill the scholarship pledge. View more information here

Washington State Opportunity Scholarship
Washington has one of the fastest growing state economies with more trade, health care and STEM jobs than we can fill. The Washington State Opportunity Scholarship connects our state’s leading industries with top Washington talent by reducing barriers to education and training and facilitating entry into high-demand careers for Washington students.
Our first-of-its kind public-private partnership builds pathways into high-demand careers through our Baccalaureate and Career and Technical scholarship programs. Flexible financial aid funding, coupled with student support services and industry connections helps us launch low- and middle-income Washington students into Washington jobs.
School Specific or Pathway Specific Scholarships
Check the school or pathway you plan to attend FIRST to find scholarship opportunities directly offered to students who are applying for admissions. These are your first course to obtain funding, these dates often pass by students as they are usually due PRIOR to regular admissions deadlines (if a school has open admissions deadlines are months prior to Fall Semester start dates). You will find most dates will be BEFORE to May 1st.
Scholarship examples include: Presidential, Chancellor, Regent, ROTC military, PacNW Regional Council of Carpenters.
