JHS Seniors looking for scholarships: Make sure you check with your parents and see if their employers offer scholarships to employees dependents. Many do and you need to make sure you are getting those applications complete. Also if you a senior and are Native American and have a CDIB card, make sure you are checking with your tribal headquarters regarding scholarships and educational assistance. I believe every tribe in Oklahoma has scholarships and educational assistance for their tribal members.
