Attention SENIORS and your parents! Each month, the Counseling Office will be posting a scholarship newsletter which includes a variety of information and tips on topics such as: the SAT/ACT, completing college applications, financial aid, college/university Open House events, and LISTS of scholarships. We hope you will find these newsletters to be an informative resource and that you will check it often (at least every month to get the updates!). Keep in mind, the more free money you can get (scholarships and grants), the less money you and your parents will have to borrow and re-pay in school loans later!!! To read the scholarship newsletter, go to the "Counseling Office" link on the left-hand side of the WAHS main page. Then scroll down to the bottom and open the "Scholarship Newsletters" folder. |
