How to Use the Prince William County Public Schools Scholarship Database

This site contains information about scholarships submitted to high school career centers in Prince William County Public Schools.  School specific scholarships are not included. Visit your career center for applications and information about those scholarships as well as additional information about scholarships listed on this site.

In order to allow time for processing, deadlines for filing scholarship applications with career counselors may be earlier than stated in the database. Students applying for scholarships should check with career counselors to verify deadlines.

As part of your financial aid planning, use this resource in conjunction with your school counselor and career counselor.  There are several ways to use this site:

  • Browsing the Database by Specific Criteria will provide a list of criteria which links to a list of scholarships matching the critera.
  • Viewing the list of currently Active Scholarships offers a list of scholarships which are currently available in the high school career centers.  This list is organized alphabetically.
  • Searching the Scholarship Database offers an opportunity to search first by grade level then from a list of possible scholarship criteria.  This search is inclusive to provide the maximum possible resources.
  • Show All provides a list in alphabetical order of all scholarships in the database. 

Additional Information provides a listing of resources to assist with financial planning.  Included are the links to online financial aid forms, financial aid vocabulary, online web searches, and much more.

Applications for scholarships on this web site are provided through a web link to the sponsoring organization or are linked to a PDF file which may be downloaded and printed.

In addtion to this web site, we recommend that you research other resources such as:

  • College and university financial aid offices and web sites for their specific scholarships
  • Local businesses, corporations, and private agencies
  • Faith-based and service organizations
  • Federal government and state agencies
  • The military

Scholarships that require nominations must be submitted to the career center by the deadline shown on this web site.  This deadline is earlier than the scholarship sponsor's deadline to allow time for processing and delivery.
