Newaygo Scholarships

Who Can Apply?

All seniors, who are planning to attend a college, university, trade school or apprenticeship program should fill out scholarship applications! Organizations want to give to those who are serious about furthering their education. Please don't think because you aren't in the top ten of your class that you don't qualify for scholarship assistance. The majority of scholarships that were awarded last year were given to students with a GPA between 2.5 and 3.5!!
