College can be very expensive, no matter where a person decides to go. Scholarships can be very helpful in giving money to continue someone’s education. There are a lot of scholarships all throughout Algona that someone can apply for, such as: New Cooperative Scholarship, Citizens Community Credit Union Scholarship, Five Star Cooperative, and many more. Scholarships can range from any dollar amount and some can be renewable each year that the person is continuing their education!
There are also scholarships that students can apply for through the college they are planning on attending. For example, Iowa State offers many scholarships and applying for them is all done with just one application, which can be found on the ISU website. UNI and Iowa both offer scholarships for students attending those colleges as well. Many other universities and community colleges offer scholarships strictly for students attending their colleges. Colleges offer scholarships for many different reasons, and some scholarships are specific to majors. Check out the website of the college of interest to you to see their scholarship opportunities.
