2019-2020 Scholarship Guide Opportunities for Education and Training Beyond High School December 2019 Dear Parents/Guardians and Seniors: We hope this scholarship booklet will be helpful to you in applying for 2020-2021 academic year scholarships. The purpose of this booklet is to assist students and their families in obtaining scholarships for higher education. The information that you will find within this booklet is as current as possible. It provides information for over 100 scholarships that are being awarded by foundations, corporations, governmental agencies, clubs, and other organizations on the local, regional state, and national levels. Every effort was made to gather the most accurate information regarding local, state and national scholarship opportunities. Most scholarships have opening and closing dates. We post the scholarships on our websites. At that time they are available to students for completion. We would like you to follow the procedures below in applying for these scholarships: 1. APPLICATIONS: When you see that we are now accepting applications for a designated scholarship, you may then pick up the application in the guidance office or from the website. Some scholarship applications through the Wayne County Community Foundation will be completed online. Some physical applications may be available in the guidance office. We do not get all applications in January. We receive them sporadically throughout the year. If you see that you are taking the last application, please let us know. If the scholarship is through the Wayne County Community Foundation, the scholarship application can also be found on their website at www.WayneCountyCommunityFoundation.org. Some applications are completed online, while others may be downloaded. 2. DEADLINES: Keep careful track of application deadlines. Due dates are established by the sponsoring organization and are usually non-negotiable. Missing a deadline can be a costly mistake. Students are responsible for making sure applications are electronically submitted, mailed and/or postmarked on time. Applications being returned to the high school counselor do NOT need to be mailed to the school. To conserve on postage, please feel free to hand deliver those completed application packets. 3. RECOMMENDATIONS: If the scholarship requires letters of recommendation, please give the counselor and/or teacher(s) at least two weeks notice. Requests made the day an application is due will not be honored. 4. ACTIVITY SHEET: Most of the applications require a list of your school activities, community activities, sports, honors, etc. You may want to create an attractive personal data sheet or “brag” sheet on the computer, make good copies, and attach to the application. 5. TRANSCRIPT: If a transcript is required for an application, please submit a transcript request form. Requests should be made at least one day in advance of needing the transcript. 6. THANK YOU LETTER: Students receiving a scholarship are strongly encouraged to send the sponsor or organization a letter or card of appreciation. If you have any questions, please see your guidance counselor or contact the Wayne County Community Foundation at 330-262-3877. We wish you luck in your pursuit of financial assistance for post high school education. Sincerely, Lacie M.
