ECSD Counseling
November 2016
Raise.me
Raise.me’s program is supported by the Gates Foundation and is completely free for students and high schools. Their mission is to increase student engagement and motivation by breaking traditional scholarships (typically awarded at the end of high school) into a series of small, attainable goals and making the path to college more tangible for your students. Students in 9th-12th grade may get signed up for this. Students can join at this link & connect with me!
Mental Health Resources
I have recently updated my website with some mental health resources. There are resources for both parents and students, information on support groups, websites, and local resources. We also have a school-based therapist that has now started seeing students in our building. Please contact me if this is something that you would be interested in!
FAFSA
Seniors & Senior families! You may now fill out your FAFSA for the upcoming school year! If you need any help filling this out, you may go to a free "FAFSA Ready Iowa" event. Locations and dates are posted on this website. You may also contact our Iowa College Access Network Representative, Erick Danielson.

Scholarships
Here is the scholarship document and due dates for the class of 2017. I update this document regularly as I receive information. Scholarships highlighted in green have been updated for this school year. If they are not highlighted, I have not updated them yet but the due dates should remain pretty similar to last year. Please let me know if you have any questions!
