There are many different scholarships for high school students who are planning to enroll in college following graduation. While there are a number of scholarship programs reserved for students who demonstrate the highest standards of academic achievement in high school, scholarship awards are not always based on grades or standardized test performance.
Many scholarships for high school students are awarded based on specific skills and abilities, such as musical talent or sports skills. Other scholarship programs are reserved for students who plan to major in certain fields. High school students who plan to enter military service can be eligible for Army ROTC scholarship programs. Some service organizations present scholarships to high school students based on volunteerism and civic activities.
