2012 NOVEMBER STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP BULLETIN (Scholarships, Enrichment Opportunities, College Announcement) Mrs. Hendricks, PMHS Scholarship Coordinator, is located in Room 104 (across from the Book Room). She will help you with your applications, convert your GPA and complete much of the counselor’s portion of your application. Please give her two weeks to complete these requirements. If you need a letter of recommendation from your counselor, pick up a Letter of Recommendation Packet from Mrs. Hendricks. Return your completed packet to your counselor and give her two weeks to write the letter for you. Please do not wait until the last minute. STEPS IN APPLYING FOR SCHOLARSHIPS: 1. Pick up a scholarship application from the Scholarship Box in Room 104 or download it from the scholarship’s website. 2. After you have selected the scholarship you wish to apply for, fill out a Transcript Request Card in the Registrar’s Office. Do this immediately, and don’t wait until the last minute. Be certain to write the name of the scholarship on the card. 3. The Registrar will give your transcript to Mrs. Hendricks to hold for you. District policy states that students are not to be given their transcripts directly. 4. Bring your completed application and all your documentation to Mrs. Hendricks. Mrs. Hendricks should be your last stop. Your completed application, documentation and transcript will be mailed from the school. Students may not mail their own transcripts. It is up to students to make and retain copies of any paperwork for their own records. 5. For those applying online: Once you have finished your online application, you must tell Mrs. Hendricks to mail your transcript if one is required. Do not assume that she will do this automatically without you telling her. 6. Pay attention to the deadline. There is a big difference between “received by” and “postmarked” by deadlines! The bottom line is don’t miss your deadline. It is your responsibility to request, collect and deliver your documentation on time! A good strategy is to turn in your paperwork at least one week earlier than the deadline requires.
