The time has come for many seniors to begin looking for scholarships, in order to pay for their choice of college.
Senior scholarship night is 7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 13 in room E139, the choir room. The event is open to all seniors, whether they’re attending a two year, four year, or community college, or a trade or vocational school. No matter what route seniors are taking, scholarships will be available. Advice will be given to seniors on how to prepare for scholarships, including organization and time management tips. Scholarship committees will be in attendance at the meeting, and will give students their perspective on their expectations for scholarships. Various scholarships will also be available for students to pick up. Students may want to bring a notebook and pen to take notes on they information they’re given.
If seniors are unable to attend the meeting, they can find applications and information on scholarships in the career center. All local scholarships will be available for students on Jan. 13.
Sue Fisher, the career counselor, advises that students applying for scholarships avoid procrastinating, pay attention to details, be honest, and remember that presentation plays a big part of the first impression of an application.
