INTRODUCTION
Parent and Student Information
I have prepared this booklet as a service to our students and their parents to help
them gain access to information about financial aid. There are four basic types of
financial aid: scholarships, grants, work study, and loans. There are many
organizations offering student financial aid: federal, state, and local government,
colleges and universities, private organizations and businesses, religious affiliations, and
branches of the military.
This booklet is not to be considered all-inclusive. New scholarship opportunities
will become available after the printing of this booklet, and others listed may no longer
be available, based on funding and other considerations.
Be aware that there are web sites and publications that list thousands of
scholarships. I also recommend that students contact the college/university financial aid
office to inquire about additional financial aid opportunities.
The general guidelines for scholarship applications are described in this booklet. It
is recommended that students complete scholarship applications with the utmost care.
Many applications will require an application, an “activities resume,” an essay and/or a
high school transcript. I suggest that you have another person proof-read the applications
before submitting. Grammar, spelling and composition style will be considered when
committees make their decisions. Finally, some scholarship applications require letters of
recommendation. When asking for a letter of recommendation, be sure to give the person
ample time and a formal thank you.
Finding money for college takes time and effort! I do not recommend paying anyone
or any organization to help you find scholarship money. Be aware of scholarship scams.
For more information regarding scholarship scams, visit
http://www.ftc.gov/scholarshipscams.
I encourage you to take the time to apply for as many scholarships as possible.
Feel free to call Mr. Kurschner, School Counselor at 486-5217 if you have any questions.
