Naviance

Naviance Student is a web-based service designed especially for students and parents. By using Naviance, you have access to career interest inventories, college data, college research, scholarships, resume building and a variety of other services.

Naviance also lets us share information with you about upcoming meetings and events, local scholarship opportunities, and other resources for college and career information.

Every student has their own Naviance account, and it is automatically activated when they start at AWHS. Here are the steps for students to log in:

1. Go to this page

2. Click on the Student icon

3. Put in our school's zip code if prompted (94960)

4. Choose Archie Williams High School if applicable

5. Click the green button entitled "Continue with Single Sign On"

6. Use your Tam District email address and password

Parents also have access to an account, but there are steps they need to take in order to register it. New parents should follow the steps below:

• Whereas student accounts are automatically registered when they start at AWHS, parents have to manually activate their accounts. 

  • Go to this page and click the link at the bottom that says "I'm new and need to register" 

  • Enter your individual registration code that you received in the introductory email from Lisa Neumaier

  To find it, you must be logged in to your Naviance account. Click on the Colleges tab, then from the Scholarship and Money heading, pick Scholarship Search.

• To see if you are eligible for each one, click on the Full Details button and scroll down to read the Description.  Read it in its entirety as it will tell you the criteria and how to apply if the application is not linked to the posting.
  Some are even available for college students, so you can continue to use Naviance after your high school graduation. Happy Scholarship Searching!
