IT'S TIME TO WIN SOME SCHOLARSHIPS!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
IN ADDITION TO COMPLETING YOUR FAFSA APPLICATION, THIS IS ALSO THE TIME TO BEGIN COMPETING FOR SOME OF THOSE COVETED SCHOLARSHIP DOLLARS.
HERE IS HOW IT WORKS. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THE CAP OFFICE IS CONTINUALLY SENT SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES FOR ITS STUDENTS (MOSTLY SENIORS).THESE SCHOLARSHIPS DIFFER FROM FASTWEB OFFERINGS BECAUSE THEY ARE FREQUENTLY FROM LOCAL CLUBS, BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS AND ARE NOT LISTED NATIONALLY. THEY ARE ALSO MORE EASILY WON SINCE THE COMPETITION POOL IS SMALLER (DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA OR PINECREST) I ENTER THESE ON THIS PAGE IN THE ORDER THAT THEY ARRIVE. I LIST THE NAME, AMOUNT, REQUIREMENTS AND DEADLINE FOR THE SCHOLARSHIP. I ALSO TELL YOU WHETHER YOU CAN LINK TO THE SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION ON LINE OR WHETHER YOU NEED TO PICK UP A HARD COPY APPLICATION IN MY OFFICE.
SCHOLARSHIPS ARE UPDATED WEEKLY. THEY ARE DELETED AS THEIR DEADLINES EXPIRE.
YOU MAY SIGN UP ( "NOTIFY ME" ) IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE AN E MAIL FOR EACH NEW SCHOLARSHIP AS IT ARRIVES IN THE CAP OFFICE.
YOU CAN APPLY FOR AS MANY SCHOLARSHIPS AS YOU HAVE TIME AND ENERGY. YOU CAN ADD SCHOLARSHIP DOLLARS TO PRE PAID AND BRIGHT FUTURES MONEY. YOU CAN ALSO COMBINE SCHOLARSHIPS WITH THOSE OFFERED BY THE COLLEGE.
SCHOLARSHIPS DIFFER FROM NOMINATIONS SINCE ANYONE WHO MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS CAN APPLY AND NEED NOT BE NOMINATED.
WE WILL BEGIN THE FINANCIAL AID PROCESS IN JANUARY. TELL YOUR PARENTS THAT FINANCIAL AID WILL BE BASED ON THEIR EARNED INCOME (AS SHOWN ON THEIR 2009 TAXES). OTHER FACTORS CONSIDERED ARE SOME SPECIFIC ASSETS, NUMBER OF CHILDREN IN COLLEGE, AGE OF PARENT AND SAVINGS.
PLEASE STOP BY THE CAP OFFICE DURING YOUR LUNCH PERIOD. APPOINTMENTS ARE NOT NECESSARY DURING LUNCH. YOU MAY ALSO SCHEDULE A LONGER APPOINTMENT THROUGH MS. MAGGIO IN THE MAIN OFFICE.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU AND REMEMBER THAT I AM HERE TO HELP.......!
