Seniors, here are some to-dos for this semester:

_____Be sure to check your email (especially your college email account) for communication from the colleges you applied to.
_____Compare your financial aid award notifications. Check your college portal to see if you’ve been awarded scholarships and financial aid.
_____If you haven’t yet, fill out the FAFSA. The priority deadline is April 1st.
_____Turn in Scholarship Reporting information to Mrs. Reese. This is a list of all the scholarships you have received from every college and/or organization to which you applied.
_____Continue to apply for scholarships. Check The Scholarship List frequently.
____ Turn in WPHS Local Scholarships, due to Mrs. Reese by March 31st before 4:00pm.

• You need two scholarship recommendation forms. Include the yellow recommendation slip, your resume, and personal profile when you make the request.
