Can I graduate this yr 2010. High School Junior?

We Answered:

Use the remaining year to study for the ACT. You did poorly on that test. Improve your GPA. Acquire additional time and experience in your present extracurricular and volunteer activities and begin worthwhile new ones/.

Marsha Said:

Are there any more scholarships left for high school seniors?

We Answered:

You know. I have a cousin in an almost identical situation. She lives in Fort Worth, and is a senior in high school. I told her about going to fastweb and checking for new scholarships everyday--and do you think she did it--NO! I even helped her write a scholarship essay and she didn't even complete the application. I don't know what your excuse is for not applying ("applying" to college is no excuse for missing scholarship deadlines)--afterall, there were plenty of other students who applied on time, completed the financial aid or scholarship applications, kept up their grades and maybe even held a job or did volunteer work...

The only thing I can tell you is to apply to schools that have "rolling admissions" and to fill out the FAFSA--the federal financial aid application. Your FAFSA will determine your efc or expected family contribuation and that is what you will have to pay at minimum. It's best to complete the FAFSA early (as in NOW--the middle of March), and turn it in to your school to make sure you allocate the best financial aid package available.

The FAFSA is the only choice you really have right now. All of the outside scholarship deadlines have passed (which you're quite aware of) and the only hope you have is that the school will meet your financial aid needs as stated by the FASFA. A few tips when filling out the FAFSA: empty your bank acounts for a week so you can say you have $0 in them, the poorer the government thinks you are, the more money you will get. Also, if there are any extenuating circumstances for additional income, write an addendum to the school and on the FAFSA. I wrote for example, that my mother's income was based on overtime she worked, and that her job had ended overtime pay--and I was given an extra $2,000 or $3,000.

Be prepared to take out a lot of loans, and with the economy as weak as it is, expect to have your parents co-sign a lot of your loans.

Good luck.

My High School Resume: How Good am I for Scholarships & ROTC Scholarships?

We Answered:

my son your credentials are pretty good, you have a lot of extra curriculars, community service hours are off the charts lol 800 hours, decent GPA, try your hardest this year as a senior it could give you that competitive edge that you need for the ROTC scholarship.

If anything try to do your SATs again, specifically your critical reading; your only off of the required verbal score by 30 points, most likely they will make compromises or disregard this because you are a good candidate, but if you think you can push yourself over the 520 mark on your SATs, do it.

all you have to do is try to keep your GPA up and you have a good chance at getting it. aswell as keeping up with everything else I.E your sea cadet/rotc/civil air patrol extra curriculars.
