Post-Secondary Counseling

Hi Seniors and parents!

LOCAL SCHOLARSHIPS: Deadline to apply for the General Scholarship application is this Wednesday February 4th. We encourage all seniors to Apply Now! Note: if your scholarship asks for additional letters of recommendation, please reach out to Sarah Sachs at ssachs@aspenk12.net.

LOCAL SCHOLARSHIP HELP SESSIONS: We will be running scholarship help sessions in the Senior lounge above the cafeteria this Tue and Wednesday during lunch. Please come by with your computers for help with the application.

LETTERS OF CONTINUED INTEREST FOR DEFERRED STUDENTS: This is the year of many deferrals. If you are wanting to submit a letter of continued interest, check the college website to see if they even accept these letters, and/or check in with your counselor. If a school does not accept a letter, you really should not be sending one.

COLLEGE DECISIONS: As college decisions continue to roll in, please do not let a denial throw you off track. There are thousands of universities, and if you have worked with us to put together a good list of colleges, you should all have some nice choices! Please also know that a school you consider a “back up” school for you may be someone else’s first choice. So please be careful when discussing your college admissions decisions with your peers!

WITHDRAWING YOUR APPLICATIONS FROM SCHOOLS YOU KNOW FOR SURE YOU WILL NOT ATTEND: If you know for sure you are not attending a college you applied to, please make sure to withdraw your application via your portal, or by emailing the admission office directly.
