Seniors:
Beginning Wednesday, September 1, I will be making one of many visits to your English class with Mrs. Mazany to help you prepare for your post-secondary plans. We will talk about scholarships, college apps, the FAFSA, college rep visitations and most anything else related to your post-secondary plans. I will be glad to answer any and all of your questions. Please come prepared to ask!!
Be sure you are accessing Senior Information in my Schoology Course, The Bird’s Nest. Most everything we discuss and everything you need to know can be found here. You should have registered for this course in Mr. Q’s class last year. If you have not, you must use this access code: N7QZ-5ZT4-5DQP3
The first of our College Rep Visitations is scheduled for Monday, September 12 @ 9:00. It is with the rep from Delta College. So, if you are thinking of attending Delta for your post-secondary education, you should register to attend this presentation. See Mrs. McLellan in the Counseling Office. You need to register at least one day prior to the meetings we hold.
Looking forward in September, we have the following colleges scheduled to visit our seniors: SVSU (23rd), Northern Michigan (26th), Davenport University (26th), Northwood University (28th), and Ferris State (28th). Pre-registration is required for each presentation. More reps will be scheduled soon.
Have you started your scholarship search? Be thinking about college funding and how scholarships are very helpful. Last year, we set an all-time scholarship record of over $4.3 million dollars.
Seniors and families are invited to SVSU After Dark, a new event Saginaw Valley is hosting Friday, September 30th from 5PM-8PM. This event will feature the night life here on SVSU's campus that all students ask about but never get to see! Students/families have the option to start with having dinner on campus, following with an Admissions Presentation, tour, and ending with a fair from our on-campus student organizations. This is the chance for your seniors to really get a feel for what our student life is like!
If your students come, they will receive an SVSU swag bag!! Spread the word!
