Let’s Talk Scholarships

Information on where to find them, how to apply, and what’s needed

Lakyn Card, Reporter

The Hooks ISD counselor webpage presents several scholarship opportunities. All you have to do is click on the scholarship link icon. The link brings you to a list of scholarships available that anyone can apply for.

Seniors should visit the scholarship page on the website so they can APPLY and get a chance at FREE money. Though, it is also beneficial for underclassmen to check out those applications as well. Certain scholarships are no-essay. All you have to do is read the requirements and apply! Many may require a short essay. Also, remember to check your college/university for scholarships that they offer. Check out the eligibility requirements for each scholarship!

Community service hours are a great way to earn the top of the candidate list for a scholarship. All of the organizations that you are involved in will matter and make a difference. Looking at scholarships earlier than senior year gives students an idea of what leadership and community service experience they need to start building for future scholarship applications to ensure success.

Why checking out scholarships before senior year is best: 

  • You are able to estimate how much you could get in scholarships and better choose a college based on price.
  • You can preview questions and think about answers longer.
  • You are aware of what documents or information is required ahead of time. 
  • You know estimated time periods of scholarships opening and closing.
