If you or your organization sponsors any scholarships that give priority to local residents, and you would like us to include it in our Financial Aid Clearinghouse database so that this important information will be accessible anytime to help deserving students attain their education goals, please contact us.

Please note that the search feature of this database allows us to enter data quite specifically for each fund so that it will be shown to only the students who are specifically eligible to apply. For instance, if your scholarship is only for seniors of a particular high school, it is entered in the database so that the listing will only come up as a match for students of that particular high school when they conduct their scholarship search.

By sending your scholarship listing to DEF each year you will save valuable resources of your organization and of our local schools. As we've met with our region's guidance counselors their support of this project has been overwhelmingly positive. We will continue to exchange information with them as we also continue to contact all scholarship sponsors directly to become the central Financial Aid Clearinghouse link for all parties.

This project also benefits eligible students who do not have a guidance counselor to help them, namely, homeschool students or previous high school graduates returning to school for higher education and training to improve their lives and join the workforce at a better level. Please send us an application along with the scholarship fund criteria so that we can put the application online with the listing so students can print it directly.

*** * NEW * ***

We now have the ability to put scholarship and grant applications

online with each listing.  If we already have your fund listed and you would like

students to be able to print the application from our website, please

send us an application .

Each year, as the scholarships have new deadlines or criteria, you can forward this information directly to us, your one-stop clearinghouse, so that the listing is updated and immediately available to those you want to reach, namely, guidance counselors, financial aid and college advisors, parents, and most importantly, students, who are the hope of the future for all of us!

We look forward to working with you!
