Scholarship and Financial Aid Guide 2016

2016-2017
Hamilton Southeastern
High School
Financial Aid
&
Scholarship Guide
INTRODUCTION
The 2016-2017 scholarship and financial aid guide has been set up by the Guidance
Department to assist HSE parents and students in their search for scholarships and/or
financial aid. Students and parents should use Naviance to access the most up to date
scholarship information. Our goal is to make the process easier and more efficient for you.
Please do not hesitate to contact the counseling office for assistance during the school year.
The Guidance department phone number is 594-4193.
Throughout this scholarship guide you will find references to web sites and addresses. The
Internet has become a vital part of scholarship/financial aid searches. If you do not have
access to the Internet at home and would like to look up something for yourself, please let the
Guidance department know and we will set up a time for you to use one of our computers.
SCHOLARSHIP SEARCHES
Scholarships are usually based upon student GPA, SAT/ACT score, community involvement,
and future field of study. The “stronger” the resume you have, the more scholarships you will
be eligible for. Keep in mind that scholarship competition is extremely competitive at all
levels. The best advice we can give is to apply for everything and anything for which you are
eligible. You should put in the time and effort needed to make a superior application. This
will give you the competitive edge you need.
Always contact the colleges/universities you will be applying to and ask what scholarships are
available. Typically, smaller private colleges will offer more scholarships and financial aid to
offset their higher tuition rates. Always be aware of what is available at or through Hamilton
Southeastern, check our website, and this scholarship guide. Finally, make sure you check
out www.fastweb.com Fastweb has a database of over 1.3 million different scholarships
offered by thousands of different institutions and organizations worldwide worth over 3 billion
dollars. After entering your resume into the Fastweb database, you will receive a list of
scholarships for which you are eligible to apply. This is one of the best search engines on the
market.

Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA)
We will have FAFSA information in the Guidance Office by mid-November. The FAFSA can be
downloaded from www.fafsa.ed.gov or by calling 800-433-3243. Make sure you complete this as soon as
possible after January 1, 2016. That is the date after which the federal government will begin accepting
applications. Even if you feel you will not qualify for any federal aid, it is still a good idea to submit an
application anyway. Many independent scholarships require a copy of the FAFSA to go along with the
application. Also, please note: to be considered for any aid from the state of Indiana, the FAFSA must
be completed and received by the Indiana due date posted on the FAFSA website. This date is typically
in the beginning of March.

Protecting yourself from Scholarship Scams
Rules of Thumb from the Smart Student Guide to Financial Aid
(www.finaid.org/scholarships/protecting.phtml )
1. If you must pay money to get money, it might be a scam.
2. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
3. Spend the time, not the money.
4. Never invest more than a postage stamp to get information about scholarships.
5. Nobody can guarantee that you’ll win a scholarship.
6. Legitimate scholarship foundations do not charge application fees.
7. If you’re suspicious of an offer, it’s usually with good reason.
Don’t be fooled by an “official sounding” name. Just because a company uses words
like “National,” or “Federal,” “Foundation,” or “Administration” in its title it doesn’t mean
it is a legitimate operation.
