I would like to take this opportunity to provide information on our Senior Scholars Program that seeks to assist High School Seniors in preparing for college during their senior year in high school. It has a target size of 25 pre-selected participants. Each participant is expected to be (1) in the 12th grade; (2) has an expressed interest in attending college, and (3) demonstrates an interest in participating in the program. It is intended to complement existing college preparation efforts and enhance their success by focusing on:
- Getting Ready For College
- Financial Aid Tips
- Useful Web Sites
- Ways to reduce College Costs
- Completion of monthly “To Do” Checklist actions that stress the target completion dates for accomplishing required actions which include submission of college applications, taking the SAT or ACT, campus visits and applying for financial aid from various sources.
Please RSVP by email to me at bworks03@verizon.net not later than June 7, 2010 and indicate your plans to attend the Guide Right Recognition Program and interest in participating in the Silver Spring Senior Scholars Program. Slots for this program are limited so please indicate your interest early to reserve your spot.
Respectfully,
Bobby Works
Book Award and Senior Scholars Program Coordinator
