Scholarship Opportunities
Good morning everyone :)
We wanted to send out a reminder about the June Nelson Scholarship - the deadline to turn in applications is March 24th. 10 students will be awarded $1200 scholarships. In addition applicants who won last year (2016) can re-apply and 2 of those applicants may be awarded $1200 scholarships as well! The application pamphlet is attached to this email, as well as the form for returning applicants, but here is the basic run down -
Qualifications for new applicants -
• The student must be graduating this 2016-2017 school year.
• The student must be accepted as a full-time student by a business, trade, or college institution.
• Only students from AASB’s member school districts will be considered for the scholarship.
• Students must submit – application form, copy of high school transcripts with GPA, college acceptance letter, response to the essay question, 2 letters of recommendation, SAT/ACT or WorkKeys scores, and a completed student involvement form. Again, all this is attached.
For returning applicants who won a 2016 scholarship -
• The short attached form must be completed, a copy of fall semester grades (a 2.0 GPA must have been maintained) must be included, and a completed essay of 350-500 words answering the following question:
“What advice would you give to graduating seniors about the transition from high school to college/business/trade school? What hurdles have you had to overcome, and why has the experience been worth it?”
