WE STILL NEED COMPLETED FORMS
We need your help ~ Fill Out Impact Aid Surveys! We Need 100% Participation for additional Revenue!
Impact Aid Program Survey Forms where passed out to students last week at Rogers. Submitting one completed survey for each of your students helps us apply for much needed Federal Impact Aid funding. YES- We need one for each student in the household!!
The revenue received directly supports the high-quality education provided to all of our students. To maximize funding, we are striving for a 100% return rate of surveys.
The more families who fill out an Impact Aid survey, the more federal aid Newport Public Schools receive! So please fill out and return Impact Aid surveys!
Updated Scholarship List - 10/31/22
CLICK HERE for a list of current scholarships!
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 Ms. Gorman @ joanngorman@npsri.net and she will forward you an electronic fillable form.
