Scholarships

Scholarships can be found in MaiaLearning under the Financial Plan tab.
Students can search national scholarships based on their personal criteria.  

Local scholarships will be added to MaiaLearning as they become available.

Step 1
Click Financial Plan tab

Step 2
Enter as much information as possible in the fields on the left-hand side. Once complete, click SEARCH to explore national scholarships available for you to apply for.

Step 3
Switch to the Local Scholarships tab and utilize the School and District filters:

• School: Scholarships exclusive to students at your school (e.g., PHS students only).
• District: Scholarships available for all District 211 students.
  
  

Step 4
Want to save scholarships for later? Click the heart icon on the far right side under the WISHLIST column.

• Any scholarships you “heart” will be saved under My Financial Aid Awards for easy tracking.
  
  

Step 5
Once you’ve applied for a scholarship, check the Applied box to keep track of your applications.

Many colleges and universities offer their own scholarships, so we encourage students to check their websites or work with their financial aid office.

Some reminders about scholarships:

    1. You should never pay for a scholarship application!

    2. Fill out scholarship applications well in advance of the deadline. Some give priority to the order of receipt.

    3. If the scholarship requires a transcript to be sent, see the registrar at least 3 days prior to the due date.

    4. Financial need is considered for many, but not all, scholarships.

    5. Apply for several scholarships because there are no guarantees you will receive one particular scholarship.

    6. This list does not include scholarships offered by colleges/universities. Contact each directly or refer to their website for additional scholarship information.
