By filling out this short form/survey, senior students will be considered for all the local scholarships voted on by the NQHS Scholarship Committee. This form takes 5-10 minutes to complete, making 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 to access this and fill it out. https://forms.gle/yLZrZ4vH3QCNvjMC9
Student Support has begun its weekly (Wednesday) emails to students and parents/guardians, including 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, a volunteer specialist who can assist with completing these forms.
