Scholarships for FCPS Students

Learn about available scholarship opportunities.

Scholarships offered by organizations other than FCPS are neither sponsored nor endorsed by the Fairfax County School Board, the superintendent, or any Fairfax County public school. 

Scholarships are awarded to students based on academic record, leadership ability, talents, and need for financial assistance. FCPS reviews scholarship opportunities and publishes eligible ones in the Naviance scholarship database. Many high schools have specific scholarships only available to students at their school. School specific scholarships are listed in Naviance. Additionally, a comprehensive list of scholarship opportunities is available in Naviance.

Many colleges and universities provide scholarship and award information through their Financial Aid or Admissions offices. Please check with your institution of choice for their offerings.

Note: We recommend that students and parents/caregivers use their judgment and discretion in determining which scholarships to apply for in the view of the sensitive and identifiable information that is often requested as part of the application process.
