Class of 2021
-Award Letters
Each of you who filled out the FAFSA listed the schools of which you planned to apply. These schools receive your financial aid information and then mail you letters detailing what it would specifically cost YOU to attend their school. If your list of colleges has changed, you can go into your FAFSA and make an edit to add the schools you are now considering/who need your FAFSA info. Once you get these, you can bring them to me and I can help you read them/make the best financial decision for yourself and your education.
-Scholarships:
Remember each college has their own scholarships and deadlines listed on their website. You must go to that college to get the money. These are called institutional scholarships. Private scholarships are also available. These are not given by colleges but rather independent donors and companies (IE: Fastweb, Scholly, Golden G). Please do not neglect to look for/apply for these.
-Golden G Scholarship Due:4/14
This is a local/GHHS only scholarship. If you turned in your essay on Google Classroom to Mrs.V-great; you have completed the major step in this short application. However, you still need to complete the basic info on the app and provide me with your letters of recommendation. Thus far, only 2 people have applied!
IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO APPLY TO COLLEGE, TRADE SCHOOL, OR THE MILITARY! If you have not completed this big step for your future, please come see me. I can help! Remember, a great option is Grand Rapids Community College because they offer- 2 year associate degrees, certificate programs, and workforce training which is only a few weeks long.
