Student Info:
**High School Seniors - (May 2026 graduates) The application period for our 2026 first-year scholarships is now open. Start your account profile and application by clicking on the Students and Parents tab. There is a link on that page to a PDF which you can use as a guide. You must fill out all the ** (double asterisk) items in each section of the application. After you enter all the ** items, be sure to click on "Save and Look for Scholarships", then "apply" to the First-Year High School Seniors scholarship. The deadline for submitting your application is March 12, 2026. No later applications will be accepted.
**First-year College Students - (May 2025 high school graduates) - If you have not yet received your First-year scholarship, there is a two-step process you need to complete before we can issue a scholarship check. 1) Please email us (dollarsforscholars.solon@gmail.com) a copy of your Fall 2024 class schedule as proof of full-time enrollment, and 2) you must login to your profile on the website and accept your award. We cannot issue a scholarship check until both of these steps are completed. The deadline for accepting your scholarship is February 15, 2025. After Feb. 15, we are not able to issue any first-year scholarship checks.
College Students (Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors) - The 2025 Continuing Education Scholarship application process has been completed. The application period for Summer 2026 will open in May, 2026 and will close on July 1 with short interviews to follow later that month. These scholarships vary between $1,000 and $2,500 per year and some are renewable for up to 2 additional years. To apply, please visit the Parents and Students tab and log into your account - similar to how you did it for the first-year scholarships. For a refresher - see the PDF on the Students and Parents tab. Instead of applying to the first-year scholarship, make sure you apply to the Continuing Education Scholarship.
