Seniors, here are the top three things you should be doing right now…
- Complete the fall senior survey. Your responses help us offer the help you need. Please submit the survey before the Senior Class Meeting on Wednesday.
- Create your account at StudentAid.gov, if you still have not done so. The FAFSA opens in just a little over two weeks! Submitting early means you’ll have the financial information you need to make your final college decision in the spring.
- Update your ScholarshipQuest profile. Many students will need more money than they will receive from federal financial aid. If you want a piece of the hundreds of thousands of dollars available in scholarships each year, you’re going to have to work for it! Update that profile and get started on your scholarship search.
There are just a few seats still available for the fall ACCUPLACER test at Northwest next week. If your ACT scores were not quite where they need to be (Math – 17+; Reading – 19+), and you’re planning to attend a 2-year college, this test is for you! The ACCUPLACER is an assessment used to measure your readiness for college courses in reading, writing, and math; scores are used by 2-year colleges (like SCC) to determine placement in math and English courses. Submit the registration form if you would like to participate (grades 11-12 only). Registration closes tomorrow (Monday, 9/15).
We also have a limited number of seats still available for the fall ASVAB test scheduled during College Week. The ASVAB is an aptitude test that helps predict future academic and occupational success. This test is not just for students interested in a military career! Any student in grades 10-12 who would like to learn more about their strengths and careers that may be a good fit are encouraged to participate. The registration form will remain open until September 26th, or until all seats are filled.
