Many of the links/applications listed in the booklet are from last year and are notated with red text when we are waiting to receive an updated application and deadline for 2025-2026 school year. Once we receive the confirmed new application/link/deadline, you will see a green check box icon ✅ indicating the scholarship is up-to-date, confirmed, and good to go!
