Scholarships are an excellent way to supplement funding for tuition at four year universities, community college and some trade training programs. We encourage students to apply to as many scholarships as possible because each year there are some which receive only a few applicants. Some involve writing an essay or personal statement and some are simply a form to complete and submit.
The College and Career Center offers a comprehensive Excel spreadsheet listing many scholarships appropriate for Tualatin High students. Use the key word search and sort function to find appropriate scholarships and due dates.

beware!
Hundreds of scholarship search services are on the market, but many are scams. Beware of the following:
Don’t be fooled by an “official” sounding name. Just because a company uses words like “National”, “Federal”, “Foundation”, or “Administration” in its title doesn’t mean it is a legit operation.
Federal Trade Commission Consumer Information posts names of services caught in fraudulent practices.
- Application or other fees
- Guaranteed winnings
- Time pressure
- Requests payment before any information is given
- Claims “a national foundation” has selected you to receive a scholarship or “you are a finalist” in a contest
