Business majors should apply by March 31 for the North Avenue Business Association award, while the deadline for students wanting to be a One Million Degrees Scholar is April 10.
The application for the Gates Millenium Scholars program is due Jan. 14. Other scholarship information also is available online.

The recipients were honored July 13 at the annual Excellence in Education Concert and Awards Ceremony.

Austin high school seniors who plan to go to college and major in business or a business-related field are encouraged to apply before the March 16 deadline.
