These will be the people who will likely be helpful in locating scholarships and grants during senior year.


10th Grade- Clean up your Online Presence 
When you apply to scholarships, there is a chance that you will be looked up. You don't want important people seeing anything negative about you online. Sophomore year is a great time to clean up your act on social media or create an online presence that is polished and something to be proud of.














11th Grade- Look Beyond 
GPA
As a junior you should be looking at what makes you uniquely qualified to be a scholarship recipient. What special talents do you have? What obstacles have you encountered that you've overcome? Ask these questions early and expound on them in your senior year. 














12th Grade- Write an AMAZING Essay
Many students tend to run away from scholarships requiring essays but a well written essay can be the difference between winning a scholarship and being overlooked. It is important to take your time and write a thoughtful, exciting essay that stands out from other applicants. If you struggle with writing, work with a TRIO professional or your English teacher to create the perfect essay. 


Adult Education- Be SPECIFIC! 

Going back to school as an adult can be a hard task especially when you are needing money to help fund your education. While many scholarships are geared towards high school students there are still some scholarships out there for adult learners. When looking for scholarship opportunities be specific in your search.
