SCHOLARSHIP SEARCH GUIDELINES

The Sterling Heights High School Scholarship Booklet is designed to aid students and their parents as they research scholarship opportunities. Students will find scholarship opportunities from national and local sources, colleges and universities, private foundations, and corporations. This booklet represents only a fraction of available scholarship opportunities and students are encouraged to search the web, visit their public library, read the many books published on scholarships, and listen to school announcements throughout the year. The deadline dates listed in this book are approximate. Students should search the online addresses listed in the booklet for further information on the scholarships as well as to access online applications. While information may be available in East Center, it may not be current; therefore, the website is the most efficient way to access up-to-date information and applications!

Use this book as your workbook and keep track of scholarships for which you may qualify. Begin your search early. In addition to becoming familiar with this booklet, look for other scholarships. Check newspapers, libraries, businesses, and the internet. Attend the visits by college representatives which are held at Sterling Heights High School throughout the fall months. Pay attention to the

dates and be sure to sign up in East Center. College Fairs are held in the community as well, so be sure to attend those if possible.

Ask for scholarship information from colleges you are interested in attending. While many are listed in this book, far more opportunities are available. Search the scholarship websites!

Be aware of deadlines! Do not wait until the last minute to begin your application. Complete your application completely and neatly.

When asking anyone to write a letter of recommendation, please give that person sufficient time to do so. Do not suppose that anyone will

be able to meet your personal deadline (especially if you have procrastinated until the final moment). If you need an official transcript, please give your counselor and the counseling secretary at least 48 hours. Remember . . . Your deadline may not be theirs!

Please be generous in thanking those who help you along the way. Kind words and thank you notes are always appreciated.

Finally, meet with your counselor on a regular basis as you prepare for graduation and college. Feel free to ask your counselor any

questions you may have at any time throughout the year. This includes questions regarding financial aid, scholarships, the college application process, or any other concerns you may have.

GUIDELINES FOR SENIORS

Autumn:

Create a neatly-typed resume of activities, awards, extracurricular activities, and work experience. Register to retake the October ACT exam if you and your counselor feel is wise to do so. Attend the College Visits which are held throughout the fall months at Sterling. Up-to-date listings will be posted in East Center and school

website. Attend any other college fairs offered in the community. Register with Parchment, the simplest and most efficient way to request that transcripts are sent to colleges and universities. Sign in at

www.parchment.com as soon as possible. Begin applying to colleges early in the fall. Register for e-transcript requests via Parchment/Docufide. (You will find the link on the school

website.) Remember, all colleges and universities require an official transcript. It is vital that you meet regularly with your counselor to ensure an open communication as you plan for college.

Students should apply to colleges throughout the fall months. If applying to selective schools, make sure you apply in September. Those who wait until late in the school year to apply to colleges may find that they have lost their opportunity to be admitted.

Remain active in school, community, and extracurricular activities. Attend the free financial aid workshop held at SHHS. Bring your parents! You may start the FAFSA application process in October starting in 2016. Go to www.fafsa.edu.gov

Winter:

Make sure you have completed the FAFSA application for financial aid on the web at www.fafsa.edu.gov. Complete college applications if you have not already done so. Continue your scholarship search and investigate any financial aid opportunities offered by the college/university you wish to attend. Keep studying! Do not slack off or fall behind in your schoolwork! Failing grades may jeopardize your graduation!

Spring:

Notify the college you plan to attend by May 1st. Pay attention to mail from the college regarding orientation, housing, financial aid, etc. Pay attention to deadlines as you complete any necessary paperwork from the college. Make sure your final transcript is sent to the college of your choice. Be sure to notify your counselor and the counseling clerk before

school ends! June:

Enjoy the fruits of your dedication and hard work through high school! Celebrate your graduation, enjoy Prom, and have fun at the All Night Party! Congratulations and Best Wishes to each of you!
