1. PARENTS: THIS SCHOLARSHIP BOOKLET IS BASED ON THE MOST CURRENT INFORMATION WE HAVE AVAILABLE; AMOUNTS AND DEADLINE DATES ARE
SUBJECT TO CHANGE. SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION WILL BE POSTED AT SCHOOL AND ON THE GREENWOOD ISD WEBSITE, AT DIFFERENT TIMES THROUGHOUT
THE SCHOOL YEAR. IT IS THE STUDENT’S REPONDSIBILITY TO CHECK THE POSTINGS FOR NEW SCHOLARSHIPS.
The Scholarships listed are local and national. There are many more scholarships available through various colleges and universities. You can go online to that college website and do a
search for scholarships.
COLLEGE ADMISSIONS:
1. Take the SAT and/or ACT. Be sure to take the test accepted by the university to which you will apply. Testing dates are posted outside the counselor’s office.
2. Apply as early as possible to the schools of your choice.
3. Request that the counselor’s office to send your transcript and any other information requested by the college as soon as possible.
LOOKING FOR SCHOLARSHIPS
With the price of a four-year college education now often exceeding $100,000 students and their families need more than ever to think creatively. The common link among scholarship
winners: They apply. You need to apply again and again. It is a lot of work, no question, but perhaps less than it seems. The scholarship process is a game, and you don’t automatically
know how to play. You can master it. Start by looking at past scholarship entries. You can request them from sponsors. Talk to past winners. Don’t give up. Do not be dissuaded from
trying. Look at all of your connections: parents, activities, church, ethnic background, even problem areas (for example there are scholarships for students with asthma).
HINTS FOR SEARCHING:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Check the scholarship box outside of the counselor’s office. Some scholarship information is sent directly to high schools.
Use database. Visit Scholarship Clearinghouse http://jlmscholarshipclearinghouse.blogspot.com/ a project of the Junior League of Midland 682-4732 as a service for Midland
County Students.
Visit scholarships.com or college-scholarships.com which catalogs 600,000 scholarships. Type the word “Scholarship” into your search engine to bring up many other useful sites.
Most of the sites are free.
Follow the internet bread- crumb trail. Type a scholarship you know of into a search engine. Web sites that list that scholarship will list others, too. That method will lead you to
secondary and similar web sites.
Quiz your parents and grandparents. Their employers or professional organizations may have scholarship programs for children of employees or members.
Interview local bank managers because banks often hold fund accounts for community scholarship programs, they can lead you in the right direction.
Start as early as possible.
That means if you have a 7th or 8th grade sibling or friend, tell them to get busy researching now.
Don’t forget to check with all the places you have volunteered and check with sponsors of any activities in which you have participated. There are many scholarships for students
who have spent many hours volunteering.
Beware of these scams. A company that guarantees a scholarship or your money back, or that says it will do all the work. Scholarship services that charge fees or claim to
have “exclusive” information. Services that ask for a credit card or say you are finalist when you didn’t even enter.
Finally, as you fill out those applications and write essays, try to give a real idea of who you are. Don’t just talk about academic or work experiences. Use the essays to
tell stories that give a clear picture of the kind of challenges you’ve met or overcome-not just in school but in life.
