Another Scholarship Opportunity!

Here is another scholarship that was brought to my attention. It too came from the newspaper. This one if for students who plan on going into any of the agricultural fields (and there are many). This one is a full ride; it pays for books, tuition, room & board, fees, and use of a laptop and printer. It’s also renewable for four years. If you plan to go into any type of agricultural field OR a related science (botany, wildlife management, animal science, forestry, the list goes on), then check out this amazing scholarship here!

Scholarship Opportunity

This scholarship was just brought to my attention. It was found in  an advertisement in the Sunday paper. To be eligible, you must be in the 9-12 grades and planning to attend college once you graduate. You must have a 2.5 GPA and demonstrate some sort of community involvement. Here is the link to the application and more specific requirements. Check it out. It’s worth $1,500 towards your education!

ACT Info

The next ACT Test date is April 4, 2009. In order to take it on that test date, you must register by February 27, 2009 - unless you pay a late fee. Also, remember that as a Talent Search member you automatically qualify for the ACT Fee Waver. You are allowed two of these wavers in your lifetime. If you need a waver, see me when I visit your school or your guidance counselor might have some too. When you fill out the waver form, just check the box that says "student is a member of a Federal TRIO program". Before taking the ACT, be sure to get a good night sleep and have a breakfast that isn't loaded with sugar - but you already do that anyway, right? ;)

It's 2009 And That Means...

The new FAFSA is available. What is the FAFSA? Let's just say it is step number one for ALL things financial aid. Where can I get more info on it? Right here: www.fafsa.ed.gov. You will be able to complete it when your parents have gotten all their tax information from 2008. Even if they haven't yet filed their taxes, you can still use estimates. Don't wait! It's free money we're talking about here!
