• SENIORS, please let Mrs. Sadler know of any scholarship offers you receive.....even if you don't accept the award. We report the total amount offered to our seniors. When you receive award letters, please forward the email, bring it in, snap a picture or email a typed summary....however it is easiest for you to send the notification of the offer so that we can update our system.

• This includes any scholarship offered to you: need based, academic, athletic, etc.

• Please include the name of the scholarship, the total amount of $$ awarded and indicate if it is a one time scholarship or for all four years.

• Specific information (names, amounts) will not be published. The total $$ earned will be announced during our Honors Convocation ceremony in May and reported to the district.

• Does your college of choice have an upcoming deadline of January 15? Please plan ahead and check in with Mrs. Sadler ASAP! Some colleges require information from your counselor, and they require time to be able to complete it (which means you need to request the information before break to have it submitted shortly after break). You can check the college websites for specific requirements. Please also make sure that the deadline is correct in Naviance.

• Already submitted your documents? Please verify through the college portal that all items have been received. If there is an issue with any of the supporting documents, let Mrs. Sadler know.

• If you have had someone write you a letter of recommendation, please make sure to THANK them. Letters are not a requirement of their job and it takes a lot of work. Thank you cards are a nice indication of your appreciation!
