2.     Type the application if possible.  Make it as neat as possible.   Use black pen.  Never fill out an application in pencil.

3.     Request recommendations at least a week in advance.  Also give the person who is to write the letter a personal information sheet (located in Student Services) about you detailing information that they may not know. (Clubs, leadership roles, honors and awards, work and volunteer experience, etc.)

4.     Request a transcript from Student Services if it is required.  

5. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO DEADLINE DATES.  Scholarship committees do not accept late applications.

PARKER LOCAL SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION

The Parker Local Scholarship Application is a form that should be filled out by EVERY SENIOR THAT INTENDS TO GO ON TO ANY TYPE OF COLLEGE.  This application does not take the place of filling out scholarships that are in the Senior Newsletter, but makes the student eligible for scholarships and awards that are NOT published.  Scholarship committees will come in to review the Local Scholarship Applications. Neatness is extremely important (type if possible).  Use black pen.  Never fill out an application in pencil.  Awards and scholarships are given based on the information provided on the Local Scholarship form.    This application is available in the Student Services Office and must be returned no later than March 1.

FINANCIAL AID

The FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid, is the primary form that the federal government, states and colleges use to award grants, scholarships, work study and student loans.  Grants and scholarships are free, but you have to earn the work study dollars and pay back the loans.   

All students should consider applying for financial aid.

• Financial aid information (FAFSA) is available beginning in October (previously January).  This better aligns the financial aid and college application processes and gives students more time to apply.
• The application must be completed on-line at www.fafsa.edu.gov  Families can use their prior-prior year tax information to complete the form instead of the prior year’s tax information.  This allows families to file the FAFSA before they file their previous year’s taxes.

When do I complete the FAFSA?

The 2019-2020 FAFSA is available for filing on or after October 1, 2018. The deadline for the 2019-2020 FAFSA is midnight, Central Time, June 30, 2020. The earlier you file, the more grant money you are likely to receive (up to twice as much). Filing early also helps to ensure you don’t miss FAFSA deadlines for state and college aid, which may differ from the federal deadline. 

A few things to remember:

• To receive federal student aid for 2018-19 the deadline for submitting the FAFSA is June 30, 2019
• You need to apply as soon as you can!  Schools and states often use FAFSA information to award nonfederal aid.  Their deadlines are usually early in the year.  Check with the schools you’re interested in to find out about their deadlines.  Find state deadlines at www.fafsa.gov
• You must reapply for federal state aid every year
• If you change schools; your aid doesn’t automatically transfer with you.  Check with your new school to find out what you need to do to continue receiving financial aid.

Your FAFSA helps you apply for federal, state, and school financial aid!

If you’re not ready to apply for federal student aid, but you’d like to estimate your aid, visit StudentAid.gov/fafsa/estimate to try FAFSA4caster; an early eligibility estimator. 

Find more details about eligibility requirements at StudentAid.gov/eligibility.

HELPFUL FINANCIAL AID WEBSITES

- Alternative ways to pay for college
- Different types of college savings plans

You can check out these guides here:

Ultimate Guide to the FAFSA: https://www.moneygeek.com/education/college/resources/fafsa-guide/

Graduating Without Debt: https://www.moneygeek.com/education/college/resources/debt-free-college-education-guide/

College Savings Plans: https://www.moneygeek.com/education/college/resources/college-savings-plans-guide/

Don't ask "Could you write a letter of recommendation for me?" Just about anyone can write a letter. The problem can be what they are going to include in the letter. Rather, ask "Do you feel you know me well enough to write me a good letter of recommendation?" By giving the following information such as your g.p.a, your rank, your outside activities, leadership positions and volunteer work to the person who is being asked to write the letter of recommendation you can be assured that those who say "yes" will be enthusiastic about your performance and will write a positive letter.

Letter of Recommendation forms can be found in the student services office.  Fill out the form and include this when you request a letter of recommendation.  Always allow at least two weeks to complete the letter.  Your teachers will do a better job on your letter if they don’t have to rush.   Also, keep a copy of the letter(s) for use later in the college application and scholarship process.

Benefits of Apprenticeship

EARN: In apprenticeship, you earn a paycheck from day one with guaranteed raises as your skill level increases.

LEARN:You will learn your trade through hands-on learning, coupled with classroom instruction and the potential to earn college credits.

SUCCEED:  Apprenticeship helps you to realize your career goals by providing a great salary and long-term career opportunities - without student loan debt.

How does apprenticeship work? 

Apprenticeship is post-secondary education like a college or university.  But there's a big difference.  Apprentices learn only a portion of their skills in a traditional classroom.  They receive most of their training on-the-job, while working for an employer who pays a good wage. The employment is the primary requirement for an apprenticeship - a job must exist in order for the apprentice to be trained.  The classroom instruction is usually provided through the Wisconsin Technical College system.

CAMPUS VISITS ARE ESSENTIAL

One of the best ways for a prospective student and his/her parents to determine if a college is a good choice is to visit the campus.  In addition to providing the opportunity to meet with admission personnel, campus visits allow a student to see the campus through a guided tour.  Students can also make arrangements to meet with faculty, coaches or other university staff by pre-arranged appointments. 

Campus Preview Days or Close-Ups offer a more extensive agenda.  These programs are typically half-day events that feature informational sessions with faculty, student service representatives and current students.

Scheduling early is key when arranging a campus visit or making plans to attend a preview day.  Students should schedule with the campus at least one to two weeks in advance of the date they wish to visit.  The reservations for some tour and preview days fill quickly, especially on teacher convention days, so it is important to plan ahead.  

You can find Preview Day and tour information on the websites of the individual colleges.  All of the Wisconsin private and state campuses home pages have a link from the Parker Home Page.  You can also call the admissions offices of the campuses using the numbers listed below.
