Special to the Rappahannock News
Students and parents ask me about scholarship information every day. Here is the advice I offer:
1. Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), available in the guidance office, the Rappahannock County library, and on-line at fafsa.ed.gov.
2. Call tlie school that you plan to attend and talk to their financial aid administrators.
3. Spend an afternoon at the library and on-line. Ask around. If you can write 1000 words on rice growing, if you excel in darts, if you are involved in community service, there is money out there for you. But, you have to seek it out, apply for it, craft your essay, check your spelling and meet their deadlines.
We are fortunate in Rappahannock to have so many local residents committed to helping our seniors finance their postsecondary education. Many of the scholarship providers would love to see more applicants. Some years, the money goes unused. Applications for these and other scholarships are available in the Guidance Office. Come by and pick one up!
