1. PARENTS: THIS SCHOLARSHIP BOOKLET IS BASED ON THE MOST CURRENT INFORMATION WE HAVE AVAILABLE; AMOUNTS AND

DEADLINE DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION WILL BE POSTED AT SCHOOL AND ON THE MISD WEBSITE,

midlandisd.net AT DIFFERENT TIMES THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR. IT IS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK THE POSTINGS

FOR NEW SCHOLARSHIPS.

The Scholarships listed are local and national. There are many more scholarships available through various colleges and universities. If you are interested in obtaining information

about scholarships offered at specific colleges or universities, please contact your school counselor. Lee High School contact Tammy Dennison 689-1639. Midland High School

contact is Kerry Hoover 689-1114. Coleman High School contact is Joyce Nichols 689-5007. Early College High School contact is Megan Medina at 685-4680.

COLLEGE ADMISSIONS:

1. Take the SAT and/or ACT. Be sure to take the test accepted by the university to which you will apply. Contact your counselor for testing dates. 2. Apply as early as possible to the schools of your choice. 3. Request that the registrar send your transcript and any other information requested by the college as soon as possible.

LOOKING FOR SCHOLARSHIPS

With the price of a four-year college education now often exceeding $100,000 students and their families need more than ever to think creatively. The common link among scholarship

winners: They apply. You need to apply again and again. It is a lot of work, no question, but perhaps less than it seems. The scholarship process is a game, and you don’t

automatically know how to play. You can master it. Start by looking at past scholarship entries. You can request them from sponsors. Talk to past winners. Don’t give up. Do not be

dissuaded from trying. Look at all of your connections: parents, activities, church, ethnic background, even problem areas (for example there are scholarships for students with

asthma).

HINTS FOR SEARCHING:

Check the senior office areas. A lot of scholarships information is sent directly to high schools.

Visit scholarships.com or college-scholarships.com which catalogs 600,000 scholarships. Type the word “Scholarship” into your search engine to bring up many other useful

sites. Most of the sites are free.

Follow the internet bread- crumb trail. Type a scholarship you know of into a search engine. Web sites that list that scholarship will list others, too. That method will lead you

to secondary and similar web sites.

Quiz your parents and grandparents. Their employers or professional organizations may have scholarship programs for children of employees or members.

Interview local bank managers because banks often hold fund accounts for community scholarship programs, they can lead you in the right direction.

Start as early as possible. That means if you have a 7th or 8th grade sibling or friend, tell them to get busy researching now.

Don’t forget to check with all the places you have volunteered and check with sponsors of any activities in which you have participated. There are many scholarships for

students who have spent many hours volunteering.

Beware of these scams. A company that guarantees a scholarship or your money back, or that says it will do all the work. Scholarship services that charge fees or claim to

have “exclusive” information. Services that ask for a credit card or say you are finalist when you didn’t even enter.

Finally, as you fill out those applications and write essays, try to give a real idea of who you are. Don’t just talk about academic or work experiences. Use the

essays to tell stories that give a clear picture of the kind of challenges you’ve met or overcome-not just in school but in life.
