COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS

Scholarships are a vital part of funding a college education. In order to help students on their scholarship searches, we have two events scheduled:

SENIORS FINANCIAL AID/SCHOLARSHIP AWARENESS WORKSHOP
on  Thursday/Friday, December 4th/5th 2008 in the College & Careers Center

Senior English classes will take part in this workshop and look at: Financial Aid and how to apply; types of scholarships; where to find scholarship information; how to get letters of recommendation; the Dos and Don’ts of writing a scholarship essay; and avoiding scholarship scams.

Scholarship Night on Thursday, January 29th, 2009 at 6:00 pm in the College
and Careers Center.

This event for parents will cover: types of scholarships; where to find
scholarship information; how to get letters of recommendation; the Dos
and Don'ts of writing a scholarship essay; and avoiding scholarship
scams.

The College and Careers Center has a number of scholarship guides for
students to check out. They include:

* CollegeBoard Scholarship Handbook
* The Scholarship Book
* Peterson's Scholarships for African-American Students
* Peterson's Scholarships for Hispanic Students
* Peterson's Scholarships for Asian-American Students

Also available is the Willow Glen High School Scholarship Bulletin.
This includes information on all the scholarship notifications sent to
the College and Careers Center, some of which are national, and some
that are local. The College and Careers Center has all the issues from
the last 12 months on file for students to access. The first scholarship bulletin

is produced in Octobe each year, and will be available to download from this page.

The internet is a valuable source of scholarship information. There
are many reputable scholarship search sites, and the flier on Scholarship
Search Internet Sites is available to download from this page. All
students should sign up for at least two, and we recommend:

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please remember that all scholarship information is
available for free. You should never have to pay for scholarship
searches.
