DON’T forget about all of your results available to you through your YouScience account & results. These results can help you look at & consider Career Pathways & specific careers you may want to consider after High School based on your Aptitudes (again, another fancy way to say our natural strengths, talents & skills). Furthermore, your results can help you prepare resumes, complete applications & even prepare for interviews since your results also give you words & short phrases to describe yourself. Again this platform is all about & for YOU, hence the name - YouScience! Here is the YouScience Link to easily be able to access your account & results- YouScience Login

Over 50 EPHS students traveled with staff to 7 Feathers in Canyonville for this biennial Trades Career Expo. Students had the opportunity to tour this event that hosts over 80 business, industry, and education folks specific to the trades. Each of the vendors has a booth set up with representatives to provide information about their business, industry & the opportunities within. Some are not only there to provide information, details, and resources but also looking to hire and or provide industry certification opportunities to students upon graduating from high school. Many of these vendors also have equipment & machinery setup as well, so students can truly get a hands & feet on experience if they choose. The event was enjoyed by all as usual & students were able to walk away with a vast array of experiences, information, and materials specific to their areas of interest & curiosity.

• Work on & complete College/Program Admission Applications
• Applying for scholarships & completing the FAFSA - Again the FAFSA will not open until December of this year & you'll want to make certain you're completing the 2024/25 FAFSA once it becomes available in December.

The ASPIRE College Toolkit connects you with information about navigating the college search and selection process, understanding college admissions, and tools for helping you pay for college.

Please know that the below link is a resource tool for scholarship searches throughout the year. The results will vary, depending on the time of year, so check often.

As the school year progresses there will be more local scholarship opportunities (OSAC, EPHS/D9 Local Scholarships, other Local Community, etc.) that open & links will be shared in this newsletter, as well as emailed out to students.
