EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION
The Counselor’s Office has material on colleges, technical schools, apprenticeship programs, scholarship information and other areas related to education after high school.

PERSONAL PROBLEMS
The Counselor’s Office has files and books if you want information on social issues or personal problems such as drug abuse, alcoholism, pregnancy, etc.

Financial Planning

Certainly financial planning is important. Financial aid is available for students to attend college. Financial aid usually includes loans as well as grants and scholarships. Most financial aid is applied for during the senior year of high school.

You will need to fill out your FAFSA as soon as possible.  Here is the link  http://www.fafsa.org/fafsa/fafsa.phtml.

Most funding that is not a loan is a first come first serve basis, and even if you qualify for a grant only a specified amount of funding is given once it is gone you have to wait until the next year to reapply.

Most colleges require all scholarship applications be in by March if you know where you are attending check on the accurate date.   Remember scholarships are not just for straight A students there are many different kinds with different requirements.  Check with me often to see if they have received any information recently on local scholarships. 

Academic Planning

It is important to prepare academically. The Recommended or Distinguished Plans are the plans that will best prepare you for college courses. There are certain grants and scholarships that are only available to students who graduate on one of these plans.

College Planning

You should use your high school years to investigate a number of different colleges. There are videos, CD-ROMs and books in the Counselor’s Office that you may look at and take home. Many colleges have “High School Preview Days” when they invite high school students and their parents to tour their college. Begin early looking at all of the options available to you.

Résumé Planning

Scholarships are given to students who excel in some area. Consider your strengths and build on those. Most scholarship applications are going to ask you for your community service activities and school activities. Don’t wait until your senior year to start participating in these. By then, it will be too late.
