April 6, 2020 - App message from Mr. G: For students who are still interested in applying to scholarships, this can be an opportunity for them to gain an additional competitive edge as there are fewer students competing for these awards. Here are a few resources you can use to help students who are applying to scholarships:
At the bottom of apzr.co/x7N there is a downloadable budget planner that students can use to prepare for next year
At the bottom of apzr.co/x7N there is an email template that you can use to let students know about ScholarTree
Here is a blog outlining the most common mistakes we see on scholarship applications - apzr.co/qfm
Have a great day, and stay safe.
