Scholarships galore!

High school seniors should be done with college applications and by now, many even know which college or university they'll attend.

Here's a couple of ones. I'm sure I'll come across more in the weeks to come.

The S.T.A.R. Foundation of Monterey County is accepting applications for the Performing Arts Scholarship Awards for 2016-2017. Deadline is April 30. The program exists to help graduating Monterey County high school seniors pursue their interest in the performing arts beyond the secondary school setting. Depending on available funds, students attending a two-year college will receive $500. each year. Students attending a four-year college will receive $1000. per year.
