Common questions

How many scholarships are available for Hernando County students?
13 that we have verified against the sponsor's own page, 9 of which are restricted to Hernando County, a city inside it, or a single high school.
What is the largest local scholarship in Hernando County?
The Mary & Bob Sierra Family Foundation University/College Scholarship, from The Mary & Bob Sierra Family Foundation, at $10,000. It is restricted to this area rather than open nationally, so the applicant pool is a fraction of the size.
Are there need-based scholarships in Hernando County?
3 of the 13 awards we list state that they consider financial need. Where a sponsor does not say, we leave the field blank rather than assume.
Which Hernando County scholarships require an essay?
3 of the 13 awards state that an essay is required. The other 10 do not mention one, which means the sponsor did not publish that detail.
Why apply for local scholarships instead of national ones?
The applicant pool. A national award can draw tens of thousands of applicants for a few hundred places, while an award limited to one county or one high school is competing against a graduating class. 9 of the 13 awards on this page are limited that way.
