Scholarships

We seek graduating seniors taking an online course or courses with a minimum GPA of 3.0 and scheduled to graduate on time. This Scholarship is open to any graduating senior in a district or program participating in the CAOLA consortium.

Applicants must have a verifiable history in the CAOLA Genius platform of taking at least one (1) course during their high school career provided by CAOLA through their local school district or program.

Applicants must plan to attend a two (2)-year community college, four (4)-year college or university, or a trade/technical training program.

Scholarship funds will be paid in June 2025 directly to the school or training program, not the student. The funds will be issued to the school or training program upon receiving proof of enrollment for the fall semester, including the student ID number and Financial Aid Office address. The scholarship recipients' responsibility is to ensure evidence of registration for the fall semester is sent to CAOLA for review and verification.

Student applicants must have the endorsement of their Guidance Counselor and/or Academic Advisor on their application, attesting they are qualified for this scholarship program.

All applications must include a link to a brief video of no more than 2 minutes prepared by the student applicant stating why CAOLA was helpful in their high school education and why they believe they should be considered for the scholarship award.
