General Scholarship Information

Financial assistance for college comes from four main sources: colleges, the government, national and regional scholarships, and local scholarships.

Local Scholarships: The Port Angeles community has one of the most successful local scholarship programs in the state, awarding about $500,000 annually to graduates. Scholarships are available for students planning to attend technical, vocational, community, or four-year colleges.

Accessing Scholarships: Port Angeles High School helps students find regional and national scholarships by posting applications on its website.

Government Aid: The federal and state governments offer grants and loans based on financial need. Families should complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) in early October. The high school partners with Peninsula College to hold an annual workshop explaining these programs.

College-Specific Scholarships: Colleges themselves award the most scholarships. Students should visit the websites of their intended colleges to learn about available scholarships and apply as soon as they are accepted. High school juniors are encouraged to work with the College Success Foundation Representative or their Counselor to identify potential schools. Considering scholarship offerings can be an important factor in deciding where to apply.
