Student Support Updates
On Friday, December 1, 2023 Student Support opened up the Senior Class of 2024 Local Scholarship Application Google form. By filling out this short form/survey senior students will be considered for all the local scholarships that will be voted on by the NQHS Scholarship Committee. This form takes about 5-10 minutes to complete and will make each student eligible for over 75 local scholarships! This form must be filled in and completed by March 1, 2024. Students must be signed into their google account in order to access this and fill it out. https://forms.gle/yLZrZ4vH3QCNvjMC9
Student Support will be visiting all Senior History classes beginning December 13th to review the Scholarship Process and to assist students with finding and applying for scholarships. We will also be going through the NQHS Local Scholarship Form during this classroom visit.
Student Support have begun their weekly (Wednesday) emails to students and parents/guardians which will include an updated list of available scholarships for seniors to apply for, if eligible. Be on the lookout for an email entitled “Updated Weekly Scholarship List”.
Students and families who need one-on-one assistance with the FAFSA (and CSS profile), can make an appointment with Mr. Wong, who is a volunteer specialist who can assist with the completion of these forms. Mr. Wong is here every Thursday from 10am until 2:30pm - students can sign up for upcoming sessions on a clipboard in the Student Support Office.
Student Support, in collaboration with Walker Therapy, has organized an After-School group called Living Out Loud (LOL), where students will learn about problem-solving, team building activities, self-care, and reflection. Students are still welcome to join - it meets on Tuesdays at 2:45pm.
Bridgewater State University will be coming to NQHS for an Instant Decision Day on Wednesday, December 13th. Students can sign up using the Google form which can be found on the Student Support Class of 2024 google classroom.
