Dear Jaguar Parents and Students,
It’s never too early to start thinking about planning for kids’ futures. With this in mind, have you ever been to the StepUp To Higher Education website? This is a fantastic website specifically geared for Utah kids and parents with information on all things related to preparing, applying, and paying for college. I’d encourage you to check out this great website to see what it has to offer at: https://stepuputah.com.
You might think that 6th and 7th grade is too soon to start thinking about these things, but it’s not! For our 7th graders, StepUp To Higher Education has a scholarship which they can apply for next year. They award these scholarships to 8th graders who use the StepUp Utah Scholarship Toolkit to guide their scholarship journey. To get more information about those scholarships, please visit:
https://stepuputah.com/paying-for-college/stepup-college-costs-scholarship-8th-9th-rules.
Many other scholarships are available for students, some just for taking specific core courses in high school. Some of these scholarships require advance planning, and 6th and 7th grade is the perfect time to start learning about and planning for these scholarships. To get more information about many of these scholarships, please go to: https://stepuputah.com/paying-for-college.
If you’d like to set up a college savings account, StepUp To Higher Education also has a link for that. To find that information, you can go to: https://my529.org.
If you have questions about anything I have discussed today, please don’t hesitate to contact either myself or our other counselor, Mrs. McMullin at the school. We are here to be a resource for both parents and students.
Mrs. Shurtz, School Counselor
