Who Can Apply?
All seniors, who are planning to attend a college, university, trade school or apprenticeship program should fill out scholarship applications! Organizations want to give to those who are serious about furthering their education. Please don't think because you aren't in the top ten of your class that you don't qualify for scholarship assistance. The majority of scholarships that were awarded last year were given to students with a GPA between 2.5 and 3.5!!
Descriptions of Available Scholarships
Descriptions of each scholarship are posted here. Paper copies of the descriptions will be available in the counseling office.
How do I Apply?
Each scholarship requires an application to be filled out. Descriptions are found here.
What goes with the Application?
All applications must be accompanied by:
- A cover sheet with the name of the scholarship, your name and Newaygo High School. You may scan your picture on the front cover if you like.
- Application
- A profile/essay page (a description, which tells who you are, your high school and community service accomplishments, career goals, GPA and any other information which you want an organization to know about).
- High school transcript
- Two letters of recommendation (make sure you read each scholarship requirements carefully - some require more than 2 references!)
Helpful Information:
For the scholarships that select based on financial need, you should include a copy of your SAR report or FAFSA application. Read all scholarship criteria carefully - each one may need specific items to be included with the application package! Staple the top, middle and bottom of your application package. Place all applications in the correct envelope in Mrs. Ruthven's Office.
Application Deadline: 3rd week of March
