Special Junior Awards 2024
Each year several colleges and universities offer scholarship opportunities to current juniors. These scholarships are presented to students who meet specific criteria set by each individual school. In order to take advantage of the scholarship opportunity, the student must apply, be accepted and enroll in that school.
Early in the winter students are given the opportunity to have their names submitted to these schools through the Guidance Office. Information is given in the newsletter and Counseling website with specific details on how to apply. Winners are selected by the schools based on nominations sent to them from the Counseling Office.
