Scholarship Writing Tips

Below you will find a list of local scholarships. These scholarships are open to a smaller population, which increases your chance of being awarded. Be sure to apply for as many local scholarships as possible!

Donors: Thank you from the OHS students for offering these much appreciated opportunities in the form of generous gifts of scholarships to further our education and career goals.

Note to Donors: If you do not plan to continue an award, change an award, want to submit a new award or add an application link to the OHS website; it must be sent to Maureen as a word document to make sure our links are screen reader ADA compliant.  Please contact Maureen Wentworth, at Maureen.wentworth@k12.nd.us to help us maintain up-to-date scholarship opportunities for our seniors.
