Scholarships

A Scholarship is an award given to a student who meets certain requirements. The requirements are based on specific criteria including: merit-based, need-based, affiliation with a specific group, community service, specific majors, or religion. Receiving scholarships from organizations other than the government and Cherry Creek High School can affect your financial aid package. Your scholarship dollars may replace financial aid package dollars, but that doesn't mean you will have to pay a larger sum.
