Well, hmmmmm, although celebrating our freedom from school sounds just fine, now is NOT the time to start. Term papers and projects are due, and finals are approaching. One needs to just hang in there and keep up the good fight. The month of May will soon be here. To lose one's GPA due to a massive dose of spring fever is NOT the answer to good financial backing for those college years. GPA's do count!
A couple of reminders to the college-bound seniors:
- If you haven't already done it, get that FAFSA finalized for college $.
- The scholarships backed by the Kansas Board of Regents need to be completed by May 1st. (The FAFSA has to be sent in by April 1st.) These scholarships include: Kansas Minority Scholarship, Kansas Nursing Service Scholarship, Kansas State Scholarship, and the Kansas Teacher Service Scholarship. You may apply online at http://www.kansasregents.org/ or complete and submit the 2011-2012 State of Kansas Student Aid application IF you want to apply for one of these scholarships.
Check with your intended university for any other areas that may give scholarships performance-based activities. Sports, band, vocal music, forensics, newspaper or yearbook may be some options available.
