College-Sponsored Scholarships
College sponsored scholarships are probably a student's best source for financial assistance. Besides the federal and state governments, the institution usually has considerable funds to disperse among the applicants. The list of college-sponsored scholarships is too extensive to attempt to include them on the web site, but the Mariemont Guidance Office maintains an file of current college scholarship applications and information. Everyone is welcome to browse through the drawers. Also, college web sites typically list talent and merit scholarships available.
Independent Sources for Scholarships
The list of independent resources for scholarships are included in the PrepHQ college planning site exclusively. Please refer to the scholarship list on that site for the most current information. When available, print copies of applications and informational sheets are located in a file in the guidance office.
