Dear RBHS student,

As you embark on your quest for college and money to help you attend college, this handbook can serve as one tool you can use to obtain information about scholarships. Scholarships are usually provided by companies or individuals who believe in the benefit of a college education and believe in helping students financially achieve that goal. This information is a service to you from Red Bluff High School. It is not meant to be a listing of all scholarships available. It is a compilation of scholarship information that we have information on as a school. Locating, applying, and getting scholarships is very time consuming. Those who work the hardest at scholarship searches will probably reap the most benefits. Scholarships have criteria and deadlines. Criteria can range from GPA qualifications or perimeters, to financial need, to community service, etc. The provider is giving the money away, so they can set the criteria however they see fit. They also all have deadlines. If you miss the deadline, you miss out. Sometimes providers change their deadlines after publications are complete. So, deadlines listed in this handbook are APPROXIMATE (based on previous year’s deadlines). Be proactive and do scholarship searches early and often to know what is expected and to know the accurate deadline. Another suggestion is to sign up with an online scholarship bank. You can find many choices listed under the “Other Scholarships” link on our webpage. You create a profile, and they will send you information on scholarships that may fit you. Again, scholarships take work. Most of them don’t come find you. You must find them. As far as the listing of monthly scholarships, some have websites to download applications, and some applications can be obtained in the Counseling Center. Good luck in your search for scholarship money. If you have questions now or throughout the year, make an appointment with your counselor. Have a great school year, The Counseling Center

The following scholarship providers use the RBHS Community Scholarship to select their recipients. (Please understand that awards and requirements are subject to change) The Community Scholarship Application will be available online in January. It needs to be typed and proofread. You will find it on the Counseling webpage under the scholarship tab. Due: March 3rd by 3:30 pm.
