26 January Scholarships for High School Seniors
Scholarships for students in their senior year of high school
January is a time of new beginnings, new year’s resolutions, and new scholarship opportunities.
And while there are thousands upon thousands of scholarships out there, only a small pool of them accept applications from high school students. Totally counterintuitive, I know!
Which is why I put together this list of January scholarships for high school seniors. My hope is that this curated list saves you time during your quest to find money to pay for college.
Check it out below for the upcoming deadlines in 2023.
