Scholarship Information

Dec. 10 - Jan. 10 (Newsletter #7)

From the desk of Valentine Torres

As we end 2016, lets reflect on the success that so many of our students have had already!

Many students have applied to their college of choice before the Nov. 1 priority deadline.
Of those students some have received their acceptance letters.
FAFSA opened up Oct. 1 and we already have students who have submitted their's.
Soon the college's will send out Financial Award Package letters. Be sure to read through them as some include scholarship opportunities.
BUT - Its not to late to submit a college application. In fact many colleges & universities have rolling admissions. Let us know how we can help.

The above link will take you to the Local Scholarship Book Application. The deadline is Thursday, December 22nd, 2016 @ 3 p.m. Please see Mrs. Adams if you have any questions or concerns. Plan to ask for letters of recommendation.
