AVID III Mrs. Seefloth Applying for College scholarships
“free money” From clubs and organizations, charitable foundations, businesses, schools, universities, government agencies, and others. Not just for grades Deadlines: vary throughout the year. Scholarship basics
But beware … • Application fee • Incorrect/nonworking contact info • Website woes • No recent winners • “secret” scholarships • Guaranteed $$$
Plan, Plan, and Plan some more • Read and highlight key points about the retirement article. • Respond with your thoughts to this question: • How can you avoid falling into these bad habits? • Which of these habits (do you think) are the easiest and hardest to break? • Final thoughts…
What will I need to apply for scholarships? • Application • Transcript (most recent/sealed) • L.O.R. (2-3) • 1-2 essays • FAFSA • Is that it??
So, how do I win? • Be positive • Be proactive • Be timely • Be organized • Be persistent • … be you, but the best of you!
On your mark, get set, go!! • Brainstorm how we should get started on this process. • What should our goal(s) be for the next few weeks? • How will we measure our success (in the next few weeks)?
