Scholarships & Financial Aid

Each year, millions of dollars are offered to graduating high school seniors in the form of National, State, and Area Scholarships.  Selection criteria, application processes, and deadlines vary for each scholarship.  There is scholarship money out there for everyone!  We encourage our students to visit the websites listed below which provide scholarship lists and search engines to help you find scholarships that fit you. 

Tips- Never give out private information (social security number, bank account number, etc) to scholarship providers. If a scholarship asks for this or money of some sort, it is most likely a scam. The point of scholarships is to give money to students, not vice versa!

Naviance -  The MOHS Guidance Department will list any National, State, or Area Scholarships that we come across on Naviance.  Sign in to your account.  Select the "Colleges" tab in the top left corner.  Select "Scholarship List."  This list will be updated throughout the entire school year.  Pay close attention to deadlines!

These scholarships are only offered to MOHS graduating seniors.  A list of Local Scholarships will be made available in the spring under the guidance tab labeled as "Local Scholarships".  See Mr. Kerrigan if you have any questions.

2022-2023 Scholarship

Mt. Olive High School is pleased to announce that we have again partnered with the Rochkind-Wagner Foundation! The Rochkind-Wagner Foundation funds achievement awards in Math and Science at several public high schools in Morris County.    

The 2022-23 Program for AP Achievement Awards in Math and Science

Qualifying subjects: Calculus BC, Biology, Chemistry, Physics C (E&M) or
Physics C (Mechanics), Statistics, Computer Science A, and Environmental Science.
Caveat: An award cannot be earned in both Physics C (E&M) and Physics C (Mechanics) — even in different years.
Level 5 Score on AP Exam.
Grade of A in corresponding academic course, if offered. (Grade of A-, A, or A+ is considered “A” for program purposes.) When no corresponding course is offered, students may qualify for an award through self-study or participation in an on-line course.

Students may be in any grade level (9,10,11,12).
Single award: $200
Student who qualifies for two awards: $500
Student who qualifies for three awards: $900
Student who qualifies for four awards: $1400

To participate in the program, students must supply a parental consent form (link here) authorizing the school to release the name and address of awardees and their school year (grade) level to the Rochkind Wagner Foundation so that the

Foundation may remain in touch with awardees to follow their progress and to encourage them in their chosen careers.
To earn awards, students must sit for College Board professionally proctored, pencil and paper AP Exams in 2023. These exams have already been scheduled by the College Board to take place May 1-5, and May 8-12, 2023.
