National Scholarships
National Scholarships are available for application year round. National scholarships are generally larger in the amount awarded but more competitive in nature. Some national scholarship applications are sent to the Tantasqua Guidance Office on a regular basis. When received, national scholarship information is listed on the Tantasqua Daily Bulletin for a few days and added to our ongoing Tantasqua Scholarship Directory. An up-to-date hard copy of the Scholarship Directory is located on the scholarship file cabinet in the guidance office. Scholarship applications are placed in the scholarship file cabinet as they are received and are always available for student/parent/guardian pickup.
Many web-based national scholarship search engines have been developed over time. Some are more reputable than others. The links below are endorsed by Tantasqua.

Local Scholarships
Local scholarships are generally smaller in award size but are more attainable because of the smaller potential pool of applicants. Local scholarships are offered to students of the Tantasqua School District by many civic, business and educational groups in our area. Local scholarship applications are available in the guidance office during a one-month time period starting in mid-February. Information regarding the local scholarship application time period will be listed on the Tantasqua Daily School Bulletin, posted on the Tantasqua Guidance Web Page, mailed home to parents/guardians, and announced to students in mid-February.
