Seniors,
Here is a current scholarship newsletter with all the recent local scholarships.
I have put many of these applications in your mailboxes.
The local scholarships with specific requirements (like being related to a
member of the Gaylord Eagles) were not put in your mailboxes.
See me for those applications if you qualify.
Also, Western Michigan University is having a free online application weekend.
If you haven't applied to WMU but want to, you can do so for free from 8 am,
Friday, February 17 through midnight Monday, February 20.
If you have any questions about these scholarships, come see me.
I will help you put them together.
Mrs. Nowak

Scam Alert
In the autumn, students (especially high school seniors) are looking for scholarships and preparing to apply for other types of financial aid. Please remind your students that the government WILL NOT CALL THEM to offer them grants.
We at the U.S. Department of Education occasionally hear from students who have been scammed by telemarketers who contact them, tell them they have won a government grant, and ask for their bank account information. Many students are savvy enough to realize the call must be a scam, but some are taken in.

COMMENDED STUDENTS IN THE 2012
NATIONAL MERIT® SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The principal, Rick Holt, of Johannesburg-Lewiston High School announced today that
Sean Aisthorpe has been named a Commended Student in the 2012 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, will be presented by the principal to this scholastically talented senior.
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2012 competition for National Merit Scholarships, Commended Students placed among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2012 competition by taking the 2010 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®)
“The young men and women being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” commented a spokesperson for NMSC. “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”
