IMPORTANT: Before applying for one of these scholarships, read these directions first.

These scholarships are for Fenton students only. It is guaranteed that at least one Fenton student will receive each of the scholarships listed on this page.

You must first fill out the Fenton Scholarship Application. Every organization will receive a copy of the Fenton Scholarship Application. Each scholarship application also has a supplement. The supplement will provide you with information about the scholarship and, in some cases, will require that you give additional information, provide letters of recommendation, and/or answer essay questions.

The applications are PDF forms into which you can directly type your responses. You can then print out your completed application. If you need assistance with the forms, please see Ms. McDougal or your counselor.

You must turn in all scholarship applications to Ms. McDougal by [date TBA] . Please turn in one copy only of the Fenton Scholarship Application, the cover sheet for each scholarship for which you are applying (don't forget to fill in your name!), and any supplemental materials that are required (essays, letters of recommendation). Read the directions on each individual application carefully, as they all are different from one another. Missing materials or information may result in the disqualification of your application.

To get started, please click here to download and fill in the Fenton Scholarship Application. Turn in only one copy of this form (the guidance office will make copies and distribute with the rest of your scholarships).
