Generally, scholarships are reserved for students with special qualifications, such as academic, athletic or artistic talent. Awards are also available for students who are interested in particular fields of study, who are members of underrepresented groups, who live in certain areas of the country or who demonstrate financial need. Undergraduate scholarships are forms of aid that help students pay for their education. Unlike student loans, scholarships do not have to be repaid. Hundreds of thousands of scholarships from several thousand sponsors are awarded each year.

There are numerous scholarships available to Stamford High seniors. Information about these scholarships is posted on a bulletin board outside the Career Center, room 162, and a bulletin board in the guidance complex. Students interested in scholarship information should contact the counselor in the Career Center. Local scholarship information generally begins to appear in the Career Center in spring, but it is wise to check from time to time beginning in October. The Stamford High School's Career Center, the school’s website, and counselors have information about scholarships and the procedures for students and their parents to apply.
