Look for Scholarships:

  • You apply for scholarships in your senior year, BUT you should begin looking for them now; some scholarships are given to students in 9th-12th grades. Please keep in mind that most of the scholarship money comes from the college and you must meet their criteria to apply. Your SAT/ACT scores are very important when applying for a scholarship. Most scholarships are interested in your character, leadership, community service, and extracurricular activities. Keep a calendar of all your community service - note what you did and how long you worked.

Bring your GPA up:

  • Colleges look at your classes and the grades you made in 9th, 10th, and 11th grade.

  • Colleges use your final GPA from your junior year when making admissions decisions, so this is your last chance to improve upon your GPA.
