Look for Scholarships:
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.

Tips for Freshman to keep in mind
Tips for Freshman to keep in mind
for the school year:
for the school year:
- Make a plan of what the next 4 years should look like. Think ahead and be positive. You will begin making a plan for your Freshman year through Naviance.
- Get involved! Be part of your community by joining a club, sport or volunteering at local events. Don’t just help at your school, be recognized as a superstar volunteer in your community. Colleges, future employers, recruiters etc., all love to see “real involvement”.
- Take pride in your work. Did you know that colleges only see your final grade for the semester in the classes that you take? (They do not see your report card grades.) Freshman and sophomore grades are extremely important. These are the grades sent to your potential college. The time starts now, your freshman year, that grades will 100% matter!
- Be mindful of the choices that you make. You do not want anything negative to be connected to your high school transcript when submitting to future colleges. Your digital “footprint” matters too. Believe it or not, colleges, places of employment, the military, etc, all can follow you on social media and make decisions off of what they see.
