Completing College Applications:
We are available to assist you with completing
college applications. Most colleges have an online application. Be prepared to offer your current grade point
average, highest ACT or SAT scores, biographical information, extracurricular involvement, educational history, academic honors,
etc. (some college application may have to be filled out by students & parents due to personal & finanical information
requested)

There is also the Common Application:
This is an application which many of the schools
have agreed upon and the colleges participating agree to give full and equal consideration to this form. To download
this form go to www.commonapp.org. These forms are also available in the school office.

Writing Effective College Essays:
#1 Follow Directions.
#2
Type the essay.
#3 Be original.
#4 Proofread and have your parents or teacher critique your
essay.
The colleges are attempting to get to know you as a person: your gifts, strengths and abilities, and
interests. The colleges are attempting to see if you can express yourself on paper. This is your chance to shine.
You know how to write--show them! |

Scholarship Essays:
It is very important that you are original and creative.
The admissions committee reads so many of these letters, remember this and make your essay appealing to read.
If you can choose your topic make sure you choose something that is respectable, that you care about, and do your
research. This is not the time to do an average job.
Be true to yourself. Your personality is unique and
interesting--don't try to be someone else.
Do your research--even if the topic is about you--reflect.
Proofread
and have your parents or a teacher critque your writing.
If you are having trouble getting started, just start writing
and brainstorming.
