Grade 11 students are also invited to attend a college fair Friday evening at St. George's School, Details about this event are noted below.

Date: Friday, April 25

Time: 5:30 to 7:30 pm

Who: 11th-grade students who attend Middletown High School, Portsmouth Abbey, Portsmouth High School, Rogers High School, St. George's School, Star Kids, and TeamFAME (This is for students only -- parents are not allowed)

Location: St. George's School Field House

Parking: There will be limited parking available for students. Carpooling is highly encouraged. Please enter campus via Lower Road, and our campus safety team will direct you where to park.

Registration: This year, we will again be using a digital platform called StriveScan to connect students and colleges. Students will need to create a free account, which will generate a personal barcode for each of them. I have attached directions to this email. When students go to a college table, the representative will scan the student's barcode to collect their information (no more filling out dozens of postcards!). Students will receive a reminder notification with their bar code two hours before the fair. We will have a QR code students can scan at the event in order to set up their accounts if they don't do it in advance, but we highly recommend they do the account setup before arriving at the fair.

A note about StriveScan:

StriveScan reports back to the St. George's College Counseling Office who attended the fair and which colleges each student visited during the College Fair. St. George's will share a report with each school/organization with only the information that pertains to that school's students.

Link to Scholarship List

Many of the scholarships listed are online scholarships. The general rule is if the scholarship listed has a link that means the application is online. If the scholarship on the list does not have an online link then the paper application is in Guidance in the filing cabinet under the "Scholarship" sign! (To the right of Ms. Gorman's desk)

For every scholarship you apply for you will need to fill out a Blue Transcript Request form. Those forms are available in Guidance on the table in front of Ms. Gorman's desk. If you are not able to come to Guidance you can email me and I can forward you an electronic fillable form.

Scholarship lists are also posted on Rogers High School website.
