Dollars for Scholars scholarship applications must be submitted by midnight March 31st.
- Although students are not in our building, seniors have been busy completing scholarship applications. Their future is important even if the present is a changing situation.
That being said, it is unclear if we will be able to hold our “Evening of Excellence”, but we will still be awarding scholarships.
We are looking for volunteers to review scholarship applications. Parents of JUNIORS are excellent candidates, so they have an understanding of what to expect next year when their student is applying for scholarships, but you don’t have to be the parent of a JUNIOR to volunteer for this.
If this is something you are interested in doing, please contact Jo Gatton at jo.gatton@gfwschools.org or by calling the high school at 507) 207-2250 or
507) 647-5382. - Did you know?? It is the law for men to register for the Selective Service within 30 days of their 18th birthday. You can do this on your FAFSA or go to sss.gov to register. Failure to do this could result in the inability to receive federally funded college loans and grants, or even become ineligible for many state and local government jobs.
Please register.
