Some require evidence of high scholastic performance while others are based on the applicant’s intended course of study, special talent, or financial need. They also vary in methods used to select the recipients. Therefore, it is important that applicants carefully review the requirements for each scholarship.This book contains descriptions of local scholarships. They are only one option for financial aid available to graduating seniors. In addition to this book, students should complete their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) which opened October 1st to qualify for loans and grants. Although the FAFSA has no deadline, students are encouraged to complete their financial aid application as soon as possible. Common Myths About Applying for ScholarshipsMyth:You have to make all A’s to get a scholarship.The Real Story: Scholarships are awarded to students with all sorts of talents, interests, and academic records. For example, some are based on financial need or choice of study.Myth 2: You need a really long list of extracurricular activities.The Real Story: Winning scholarships is about quality, not quantity. Most scholarship winners distinguish themselves by the devotion they have demonstrated to a particular activity or activities and the growth in responsibility and achievement in those activities. If you have had to work rather than be in activities, that’s OK too. Show the increasing responsibility you have earned in your job.Myth 3: I can’t get that scholarship. Too many people are applying.The Real Story: Many scholarships are awarded to the ONLY person who applied. Sometimes it goes unused because no one applied or no one applied by the deadline. The more scholarships you submit, the greater chances of winning.Application TipsUse the chart at the beginning of the book to help narrow down which scholarships you’re eligible for.When you find scholarships you qualify for, search for important details such as eligibility criteria, scholarship amount, and deadline information. Pay attention to how you submit your completed application. Some are submitted via mail directly to the organization and others are turned in to the College and Career Center.Work on essays for applications and note what is generally expected. Tailor each essay for specific scholarships by reading the guidelines of the application. Try to find out about the funding organization and what they stand for. Work to show how you are uniquely qualified for the scholarship. Lastly, proofread, have someone else proofread, and proofread again. Before you submit a scholarship application, ensure that you have completed it and that everything asked for is attached. Incomplete applications will not be considered!Appearance counts. Type up your essay unless a handwritten one is specified. If you can scan the application and type in the information required, it will look even better. If you fill in information by hand, use black ink and concentrate on neatness.If you need a letter of recommendation, please give the person writing it at least two weeks advance notice, provide information concerning to whom the letter should be addressed, and provide a resume.WATCH THOSE DEADLINES. Applications will not be accepted after the due date so follow directions for each scholarship regarding how you submit your completed application.The CRCA Standard Application is used by many organizations. Refer to the chart or scholarship descriptions to determine if an organization is using our standard form, their own form, or a combination of the two. IF YOU RECEIVE NOTICE THAT YOU’VE BEEN AWARDED ANY SCHOLARSHIPS, PLEASE BRING YOUR AWARD LETTER TO MR. GORDON RIGHT AWAY SO WE CAN RECOGNIZE YOU AT SENIOR AWARDS NIGHT! Other Financial Aid Information Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to apply for federal aid like grants and loans. Colleges use the FAFSA to determine how much money to offer you. Many schools use the FAFSA application in their scholarship process. Students are urged to consider submitting the FAFSA even if they believe they will not qualify for aid- many schools require it. This is a free process. The website to use is fafsa.Get your FSAID ID in order to sign the FAFSA application. Both student and parent will need an FSA ID. You can create your ID at fsaid..A student should submit the FAFSA as early as possible! The FAFSA was made available on Oct. 1st and should be submitted for the year which he/she plans to attend college. After submitting the FAFSA, students will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR). They should review it for accuracy and contact the school financial aid office to see if any additional information is needed and what other actions he/she needs to take.Once the financial aid office of a school determines a student’s financial need, it tries to meet that need with need-based aid (grants, work-study, and subsidized loans). After the student’s award is determined, the school will send an award letter.Grants generally do not have to be repaid. Some grants may have a GPA requirement.The work-study program provides employment, and students are paid from the school they attend.Loans provide funds that have to be repaid, generally after the student completes his/her education.Texas Tuition Exemption ProgramsExemption programs decrease the tuition and/or fees charged to eligible students. Listed here are some of the exemption programs in TexasAdopted students formerly in foster care or other residential care after a certain ageBlind/deaf students Children of deceased or disabled firemen, peace officers, game wardens and employees of correctional facilitiesEducational aide programExemption for highest ranking high school graduateFoster care studentsChildren of U. S. military who are missing in action or prisoners of warOrphans of Texas members of the U. S. Armed Forces or national guardTemporary assistance for needy familiesDependents of Texas military veterans: Hazelwood Act. Websites for Local, State, and National ScholarshipsThere are many scholarship opportunities in and outside of our community. They are not all based on academic achievement. Many are based on financial need, career goals, or community service. Here are a few of the resources available to you:College and Career Center Scholarship Board The CRCA Scholarship board?can be found in the Go Center at Colorado River Collegiate Academy. The board has helpful hints, scholarship searches, financial aid tips, and college application assistance. ** ONE FINAL NOTE ON SCHOLARSHIPS --?If you receive notification that you have been awarded a scholarship from an organization or any college (even if you don’t plan on going there), please provide a copy of this information to Mr. Gordon in the CRCA College and Career Center.?We want to recognize your accomplishments at the Senior Awards Night in May so it is important to submit this as soon as you receive it so we can include you. Scholarship Essay DO’S and DON’TSDoDon’tFollow the prompt givenDiscuss 1 central point in each paragraphResearch your scholarship donor and why they give the awardFocus on your strengthsTurn your weaknesses into success storiesUse detailed, actual examples from your lifeProofread, proofread and proofreadTell a good storyOpen with “In this essay I will…”Procrastinate on your essay as quality takes timeUse the same essay for multiple scholarships.Talk about something other than the essay promptUse vague clichés Write without structure to your essayMake your essay a mirror image of your resume.Where’s My Money?Financial Aid Scams Can Cost You Dearly“Millions of dollars in scholarship money go unclaimed every year!” Be wary when you hear this phrase. Some scholarship money does go unclaimed because few students actually meet the criteria. Other times scholarship search firms want you to pay them to provide what is free in the high school Guidance Office. Financial aid scams come in many forms. Some are Web-based; some are in the form of seminars with aggressive sales pitches. In most cases, scholarship searchers on a mission to save money on tuition end up losing money instead.Here are characteristics of a possible scam:1-900 telephone numbers: These calls cost you by the minute.An invitation to attend a “free” seminar on financial aid: It is always a good idea to attend information sessions on financial aid. However, companies that run scams use time pressure to get you to sign up for their services. They have one purpose: to get your money.Money-back guarantees or promises: Many students have had a difficult time when they have tried to get companies to make good on their commitments.The Federal Trade Commission cautions students to look for these telltale lines:“The scholarship is guaranteed or your money back.”“You can’t get this information anywhere else.”“I just need your credit card number to hold this.”“We’ll do all the work.”“The scholarship will cost some money.”“You’ve been selected by a ‘national foundation’ to receive the scholarship” or “You’re a finalist” in a contest you didn’t enter.Be careful with information on student financial assistance. Check with your counselor, the Better Business Bureau, or the National Fraud Information Center prior to paying money for financial aid.To file a complaint or for free information call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357) or visit scholarshipscams.Remember: You can get the help you need FREE from Mr. Gordon and Mr. LongoriaWho’s WhoWouldn’t it be great to see your name in print? Lots of companies promise to print your name and biographical information. Then they invite you to buy a costly book. They are after your money, and inclusion in Who’s Who does not really look impressive on a resume.Letters of RecommendationWhom should you ask?Ask someone who knows you relatively well and who has had enough interaction with you to give a genuine assessment of your skills and achievements. Also, ask someone whom you know can write effectively. You could ask teachers, coaches, club advisors, employers, family friends, counselors, etc.Analyze your needs for the letter.Some scholarships stress specific criteria. If you tell the person who is writing your recommendation what those criteria are, he or she may be able to write a more effective letter. In many cases, you may be able to use a slightly more general letter for several scholarships. If possible, ensure that each letter of recommendation is addressed to an individual or to a specific scholarship fund. Requesting a letter of recommendation:Please recognize that writing a good letter of recommendation is not a simple task. You are asking someone to work hard on a letter that will represent you well. Thank the writer for his help and offer to make the task as simple as possible by doing the following:Provide all the information the writer will need including names, addresses, and any specific topics that need to be covered.Provide a list of your activities and achievements or resumeProvide information about your educational and career goals.Provide a copy of your college essays so the writer understands more about you, your approach to the college application process, and what sets you apart from other students applying for the same scholarship.Provide your letter writer as much lead time as possible. Check in with him at some point in the letter writing process to see if he has everything he needs. This is both a supportive touch and a chance to “jog” the writer’s memory about the approaching deadline.After you receive the letter, write a note of appreciation.Which letter do you send?It is often a good idea to ask three or four people to write letters of recommendation. That way you can send the best letter or the one which best meets the needs of a specific scholarship.Now that you have the letter:Slip the letter into a protective plastic cover or folder. That way you know where it is, and you have it easily available if you need to make additional copies.STUDENT A.
