Local scholarships are a boon for students. Often, there’s less competition for the awards. This could make them easier to land, allowing students to bolster their funds and pay for college with greater ease.
HIGH SCHOOL GUIDANCE OFFICE
Many guidance offices are well aware of scholarships available in the local area, but it can be surprising how few students actually ask about the opportunities.

Not everyone knows that cities, towns, counties, and other municipalities may have foundations within their borders that extend opportunities to local students.
LOCAL CHAPTERS OF LARGE ORGANIZATIONS
Many large, national organizations are divided into local chapters for easy management and community involvement. And many of these groups offer scholarships.
