Post-secondary Scholarship Opportunities

Good morning colleagues:

As we head into a new school year and a season of college preparation for high school seniors, NCHE wishes to share the following links to information about scholarship opportunities for college-bound youth. Some of these opportunities are specific to homeless or formerly homeless youth, while others are open to other student groups but may be of particular interest to youth experiencing homelessness. We also are including a listing of scholarships for youth interested in pursuing a skilled trade, such as HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work.
