Never Too Early For Scholarships!

Start immediately earning scholarship money for your high achievements through micro-scholarships like Raise.me

Through a new program offered via the AIU8, students can automatically earn scholarships from colleges for entering information on their completed goals inside and outside of the classroom (grades, part time jobs, volunteer hours, extracurricular, etc.) Ask the Guidance Department for instructions on how to create a "raise.me" account.
