New Citrus college scholarships webpage
The Citrus County Coalition for College and Careers, along with Citrus County School District director of Research and Accountability, Amy Crowell; school counselors, Janet Selman; and Lindsay Blair, created a new webpage that high school seniors and parents can visit to access all local scholarships offered to seniors throughout our county. Students will be able to see what is offered at each school, eligibility requirements, deadlines, downloadable applications, and other information regarding our many local scholarships.
Here is a quick link on the main district HOME page. Simply click “Scholarships” under the Students Tab to automatically link to the local scholarship site (see snip-it below).
