Attention Seniors: Local Scholarship Dates Announced

Each year, over $100,000 is given out in local scholarships. These scholarships range from $250 to $40,000.  Last year, there were 50+ different scholarships awarded to graduating seniors.  With the growing cost of college, every penny helps.

Here is a breakdown of the upcoming dates...

Wednesday, February 19  - Local Scholarship Meeting - Extended HR

Students will see a presentation on all of the available scholarships. They will also receive a handout which lists each scholarship.  That sheet will be posted on this blog on the 19th for all students and parents to view. All scholarships will be available through Naviance on the 19th.

Wednesday, Feb 26th - Truitt Scholarship Workshop - 10:45 a.m. Auditorium

Thursday, Feb 27th - Truitt Scholarship Workshop - 7:30 a.m. Auditorium

The students who qualify for the Truitt Scholarships will be given the opportunity to attend a 35-40 minute workshop on how to properly fill out a Truitt Application.  The Truitt Workshop will be offered two different times. Students only need to attend one of the workshops.  Since the criteria for winning a Truitt is very involved, it is definitely to the student's benefit to attend one of these workshop. Scholarship guidelines will be explained. Tips will be given on how to write essays and much, much more. This is the ONLY opportunity to get the detailed information. Counselors will not cover these topics individually with students. This workshop is an important opportunity for the students.

Wednesday, April 2nd - 3:00 - DUE DATE FOR ALL LOCAL SCHOLARSHIPS

April 2nd is the deadline for all applications. It is important that students realize that late applications will NOT be accepted under any circumstances. All materials must completed and included by this deadline. This is a strict deadline.


Wednesday, May 14th - SENIOR HONORS NIGHT - 6:30-9:00 

Students are honored for their work in and out of the classroom. Awards and scholarships are presented to the students.
