CSI: College Scholarship Information: College Applications, After You Hit 'Submit'

Sharing an article - check list for after you apply to college.

Can you believe half of the school year is almost over? Winter break is less than a week away.  For a senior this can be a stressful time.  You might be questioning if you are on the right track and/or if you are missing some steps. 

As a MHS senior you have resources at your disposal. 

Throughout my day, articles come across my desk, as emails and educational publications. Why reinvent the wheel when so much information is available to share? Just today Dr. Phillips shared this article:  "College Applications: After you hit "submit'" by Nancy GriesemerThrough her post she lists 11 steps to keep you on track.

But most of all remember, the best thing to do is RELAX, keep a check list of where you are applying, their deadlines not only for applications but for financial aid, and what scholarships you are applying to.  Not sure of those - log into your Naviance account - there are over 350 scholarships for you to look at. 

Involve your parents in the college process, in my experience two eyes are better then one.  It always helps to have at least one person review everything to make sure you haven't missed a step or attached a document the application is asking for.
