High school

Manatee scholarships

36 scholarships are open to Manatee students, with individual awards of $1,000 to $25,000. 1 is restricted to Manatee itself, and 35 more are open to all Manatee County students. 27 carry a published deadline.

We have not yet found an award restricted to Manatee. This page is published for anyone who needs it but is not offered to search engines until it carries something the county page does not. Know one we are missing? Tell us.

Restricted to Manatee

These are decided among this school's students. Nothing else on this site has a smaller applicant pool.
