SCHOLARSHIP
NEWSLETTER
MARCH 2010
Dear Seniors,
This will be the last scholarship newsletter for this
year. If I receive any additional
scholarships, I will put them on the announcements. I really hope that your “Life after High
School” plans are going well. If you
need information about Pell Grants, Student Loan, come see me. If you haven’t made up your mind about what
you are doing next year, we need to talk. J
Just a few
reminders, be sure to get all your fees paid so that you can get your diploma
this summer. Your transcripts and diploma
will be available in June, if
all your fees are paid. Best of luck
to you, I hope that your life is full of happiness and success.
Sincerely,
Mrs.
