Read/Look Carefully
Be sure and read the Weekly Guidance News carefully. All scholarships are on the rack as they are listed. Some scholarships have more than one part, but are still under the main name (i.e. Aksarben: Ike Friedman is under Aksarben). If you can’t find something you are looking for or the rack is empty, ask Mrs. Harrach.
When you are making your college visits, be sure to meet with the Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid. They may have additional opportunities for you! |
COULD YOU USE $18,000??
The American Legion is hosting the 70th annual American Legion Oratorical Contest scholarship program. There will be a high school winner who will be eligible to compete at the district and possibly state and national competitions. The awards increase for every level of competition. If you are interested, see Mr. Brown in room 123 for all the details.
Believe it or not …. The Class of 2008 has already received scholarship money. Keep up the good work. |
