The Senior Panther
March 2026 Piedmont High School
March Is A Busy Month!
Seniors, you should be hearing back from your colleges/universities about admissions/acceptances from your applications! You will also be receiving information from the Financial Aid departments of your colleges/universities showing you the cost of attendance. This information includes the entire cost of attendance for the year, any Federal or State aid if you qualified for it, any scholarships that your college/university is giving you, and a student loan offer. If anything is left over, that is your out of pocket expense. If you are struggling with understanding all of this information, click here for more information! Still very confused?? Come and see your counselor!
We Want to Congratulate and Recognize You!!
Seniors-we want to know all of the scholarships you've received.....even if you don't plan to attend the college that offered one or plan to use it for some other reason! All scholarship offers are something to be proud of and we want to recognize you....and brag a little on what our seniors earn compared to the other high schools! So dig through those letters and emails from the fall and check for any offers and report them in the link below. We will recognize our scholarship recipients on the announcements! Parents, please help us with this! We don't want to miss anyone who got a scholarship offer! Come by Counseling with any questions!
