SCHOLARSHIP ESSAY PROMPTS

Scholarship "season" begins in earnest in September, but you can start NOW.  Between June and January, MOST scholarship will have deadlines. By starting early, you can compose your thoughts and make use of the editing and tutoring you can get to help you present yourself in the best way possible.  EVERY scholarship you complete gets you closer to your goal of earning the funds you need for scholarships.

As always, copy/paste into a NEW document and put it where I can edit it in Google Drive.  Once we complete the summer program, send me a text and I can edit/suggest ideas via the internet and your Google Drive.

ACT WEEK--DO WHAT IS IMPORTANT NOW

In order to qualify for many scholarships, you need to do something NOW--get a strong score on your ACT. For the rest of this week, ACT should be your focus. By concentrating on key skills NOW, you will open up the possibilities of scholarships available to you.

Another reason to make sure you score as high as possible on your ACT is so that you can go ahead and apply to colleges THIS SUMMER.  And, in addition to your GPA, you need an ACT of 20.  The higher your score, the more POSSIBILITIES you will have for scholarships!  

The University of Montevallo TRIO Upward Bound Programs BELIEVE in you...use your SUPER STRENGTH and SUPER STRATEGIES.

So, get busy NOW.

SENIOR GOALS

So, you're a SENIOR...part of the Class of 2019 who are on track for Academic Success.  Think ahead to one year from now.  What are your goals?  Then, think about 5 years from now...and then, 10 years from now.  What are some of the major accomplishments you hope to achieve?  

In your Senior Binder is a GOALS SHEET.  Fill it out.  I will scan these and hand them back to you next week.  Keep it, along with Letters of Acceptance, Scholarship Awards, and other pertinent communication in your Senior Binder.
