Senior Scholarship Newsletter
(6th Edition 2007-2008)

Attn. Seniors!  This is the last scholarship newsletter of the year.  This edition of the newsletter highlights 49 scholarship opportunities of which 33 are district competitions (i.e. East Stroudsburg Area H.S.-South and/or North students), 10 are local or Monroe county competitions, 3 are state competitions, and 3 national competitions. Thus, you should pay close attention to the scholarships listed since you will be competing against a smaller applicant pool. After reading this 6th bulletin, you can apply for all scholarships in which you are eligible.  At the top the newsletter, you will be instructed exactly how you can obtain an application for each specific scholarship.  The different ways in which you may need to pursue an application are as follows:

1) stopping-by the Guidance Office to receive a paper application; 
2) downloading a hard copy of the application by accessing this newsletter thru our district website (www.esasd.net); or  
3) visiting the scholarship provider’s website to either download an application or to submit it electronically.  For students without internet access, the Career Lab is open after-school on Monday thru Thursday from 2:30 PM to 4:00 PM. 

            Also, new this year, is that you can access each scholarship newsletter on-line at www.esasd.net.  The link for each newsletter will appear on the district’s homepage under “Special Announcements”.  As stated above, the on-line newsletter may also provide students with the ability to access a scholarship’s application and print it from home by clicking on the scholarship’s name.

Please be sure to follow all the instructions on the scholarship applications carefully.  The Guidance Staff cannot be responsible for applications which are invalidated due to missing or incomplete information.  It is also important to adhere to the deadlines listed on the scholarship newsletter not the deadlines listed on the scholarship applications.   For most scholarships, the deadlines listed on the newsletter are in advance of the deadlines on the scholarship applications in order to allow for enough time for the guidance staff to process and mail all materials.  Failing to adhere to a deadline on the scholarship newsletter will result in your application not receiving consideration.  All completed applications must be returned to the Guidance Office unless otherwise specified in the newsletter.

The guidance staff strongly recommends that students use these newsletters as only one source in their search for financial aid.  Students should still be contacting colleges regarding scholarship and grant opportunities, as well as applying for state and federal grants and becoming eligible for student loans through completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) after January 1, 2008.  Students can also conduct their own independent scholarship search by searching scholarship websites on the internet.

            Good luck in your pursuit of dollars for college!
