SCHOLARSHIP SEARCH
LEAF’s Scholarship Search database primarily contains local and statewide opportunities open to students within LEAF’s partner high schools. It also includes some opportunities for college-level students and regional scholarships where Ohio is listed as one of several eligible states of residence.
High school seniors should also check with their high school counselor’s office for scholarship opportunities that are exclusive to their high school or the city in which they reside.
The vast majority of local scholarships are posted in the December-March timeframe with late-winter/spring deadlines. LEAF’s Scholarship Search database will be updated as new opportunities become available, so check back often.
Unless noted otherwise, the scholarships within this database are not administered by LEAF.
