SCHOLARSHIPS
We will post all of the local scholarships that are given to us by local businesses or organizations. These scholarships are specific to Effingham County students. We will post all of the scholarships that we receive on this website. Please check this site regularly. Most of the local scholarships will not be posted until the spring--usually in the middle of the spring semester.
If you are interested in applying for additional scholarships, you will have to do your own scholarship research. You can look for scholarships on the internet using your own search methods. You may begin your research by accessing the following websites:
