Big Canoe Chapel Scholarships
Big Canoe Chapel Scholarship Chairmen Jack Stirzaker and M.J Davis will have an informational meeting with those seniors interested in the Big Canoe Chapel scholarships on January 14, 2009.  

Students please understand that the college you plan to attend has scholarship information available in their Financial Aid Office.  There are also scholarships available within the different departments/schools at your college of interest.  It would benefit you to speak to someone in the Financial Aid Office or look at the College website.
