Seniors,
The information for the SAEOPP Scholarship has just been released. Here is the part you need to be working on now:
These are two different scholarships for TRIO Students in the Southeast (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, and South Carolina). You will need to select ONE of the two scholarships and write your essay, demonstrating your outstanding academics and community service OR narrative about overcoming major challenges and obstacles to persevere academically.
We will be able to nominate ONE PreCollege Scholarship application from EACH of the three proposals. We will be able to nominate ONE Survivor application from EACH of the three proposals (This means we can nominate a total of 6 students for these scholarships--so you will be competing against each other for the BEST application in each category).
I will give you the paper application and rubrics that will be used to grade your applications at the Senior Success Seminar on December 10.
