Local Scholarships

 

This Local Scholarships list is maintained by the John Jay High School & Roy C Ketcham High School School Counselors. We recommend the Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley as a great site to apply for numerous local scholarships in one place. Most scholarships are available in January of senior year and are typically due in March or April. Make sure to research throughout the year, and to speak with your child's School Counselor if you have any questions.

NYS Scholarships

As a New York State resident, you may qualify for other scholarships, grants and awards. These include the Excelsior Scholarship, STEM Scholarship, and more.

We often get asked about the Excelsior Scholarship.  Please be sure to visit this page as this scholarship allows for eligible students to attend SUNY or CUNY college tuition free.
