Schoarship Procedues:

As new scholarship information comes into the guidance office, it is posted on the "SCHOLARSHIP BOARD". Students are responsible for checking this board on a regular basis to stay informed and updated on new scholarships. on the wall nextb to the board is a set of plastic folder bins that contain the paper-work and/or applications for the scholarships. These are organized by month according to the application deadline of each scholarship. Students should check these folders as well.

There are two special folders in addition to the monthly scholarship information. One is labled "SCHOLARSHIPS FOR SPECIAL COLLEGES" If a student is interested in a specific college, this folder contains information on scholar ships offered by some of these colleges. The other folder is labled "SUMMER PROGRAMS". This folder contains information on special enrichment and summer program opportunities, in Arts, Academics and Athletics. Participation insuch programs is an excellant way to improve college applications and/or reumes. Students are encouraged to check all of these folders on a regular basis.

For some scholarships, the student must be nominated by the scholarship commitee. If a student expresses an interest in a particular scholarship or college, we may consider that student (if the student meets the scholarship requirements). Those scholarships that meet the nomination will be identified.

Stop in the guidance office and check out the "Need a Lift?" college Financial Aid Handbook. this 160-page booklists scholarships, grants and loans for which students may qualify. "Need A Lift?" contains extensive information on scholarships for veteran's dependents.

Colleges visit the guidance office on a regular basis. These college representatives are here to promote thier schools. They are an excellantsource of information about the college and financial aid and scholarship opportunities.

To be called out of class to meet with a representative, students must sign up ahead of time. The sign up sheets are located on the bulletin board outside of guidance. These sheets change often as new colleges come to visit, students must check the board regularly.

For your convenience, you may stop in the guidance office to pick up a sticker for the specific college that you are interested in, these stickers should bee place in your agenda book to serve as a pre-signed pass as well as a reminder.
