Helpful Tips

  • Apply for your FAFSA

  • Create an account/complete scholarship application via the Winston-Salem Foundation

  • Visit the ECF website to keep up to date on Senior Happenings & Scholarships

  • Use CFNC for financial aid/scholarship options

  • Crosby Scholars Program to browse their Local, National & Regional Scholarship database

  • Check with specific college Financial Aid Offices (call, email, or website)

  • Have parents check with their employer's Human Resources department for available scholarships

Beware of scams

  • We DO NOT encourage students to pay a fee for scholarship information and searches.

  • Remember you have to meet eligibility criteria. Be wary of offers that guarantee funding

  • Think twice of clicking hyperlinks from any cold contact that isn't addressed to you specifically. Legitimate resources will already have some of your basic information.
