College and Career Newsletter

Welcome back, students and parents! For those of you who may not know me, my name is Jordan Sims and I am the College/Career Coach here at Lafayette. I'm very excited to begin the 23-24 school year and ready to hit the ground running with seniors and their post-graduation plans!

To help with communication, this Newsletter will serve as a weekly announcement piece for both parents and students throughout the school year regarding College, Career, Scholarships, Financial Aid and more information. Every Monday I will be sending a newsletter to provide updates on any events that are happening and important upcoming dates/deadlines.

BBB Trust Scholarship

Due Date: Friday, October 27th, 2023 by 4:30 pm (Friday before Halloween)

This year we are adding a Short Essay Category! The prompt is: How do you demonstrate that you are trustworthy and how do you recognize trustworthiness in others?

There will be a Public Choice Winner for the Video, Graphic Design, and Visual Art categories.

The scholarships vary. We award prizes for first, second, and third. Video, Visual Art, and Graphic Design both have a public choice category that is handled through our Facebook and YouTube accounts. However, video does receive more as there is more work involved due to the filming, editing, and potential casting of actors.

Prizes range from $250 - $1000 for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, with Public Choice being $125
