Deadlines are approaching for seniors interested in applying for scholarships. If how to apply for scholarships is still questionable, there are a few things students should know. First off, students can start looking for scholarships at anytime, doesn't matter what grade. The Sparta High School website has information on this, and the guidance department is the place to go if there are still unanswered questions.
Once a senior, students should really start looking at state and national scholarships. Scholarship opportunities can be found on the school's website, along with the common application, which applies to 99% of local scholarships.
Any other things to consider? According to Anne Fimreite, guidance counselor, there are plenty of other factors to consider."Each college has different requirements and different application deadlines, so students should stay on top of those," Fimreite stated. "Many local scholarships need letters of recommendation, so start thinking about who to ask that could speak to your college potential."
Fimreite also encourages students to look into scholarship opportunities at work or their parents work.
Still want more information? On January 13th there will be a presentation called "Scholarships 101." This will be held during Grad Groups and will be about general scholarship information. Another presentation will be held January 27th, also during Grad Groups, and will be about local scholarships.
If students have any other questions concerning scholarships, Femreite encourages them to come and talk to her.
