    Seniors: now is a good time to start applying to colleges/universities.  Remember to look for a counselor page, print and bring to me.  I will make sure it is completed and mailed.  Also, you will need to set up an account at www.parchment.com in order to request your transcript to be sent electronically to the college/university of your choice.  Do not mail a transcript in yourself.  If must be stamped and signed to be official and accepted by the colleges.  (counselors are meeting with seniors today to complete the process of signing up for parchment.  If you miss these sessions, stop by the guidance center and I will give you the necessary information.
     
    If you have any questions, feel free to contact Mrs. Allison Clark through email or the phone number listed below. 
     
     
     
    The Heritage Fund scholarships are now open through their new online site. Applications are now available for students to access at https://hfbcscholarships.communityforce.com/Login.aspx. The link is also listed on the Heritage Fund website, heritagefundbc.org. You will need to go to the link listed above and create an account. I suggest that you print off the complete list of scholarships available and take your time, look over each one and highlight the ones that will pertain to you. This site is also where you will find the application along with recommendations. New this year: when listing who you wish to use for recommendations, you must provide their email address. Heritage Fund will contact them and request the recommendation direct. The transcript must be requested through your parchment account.

    Questions?  Please contact Mrs. Allison Clark.  Thank you.

    ATTENTION SENIORS:

    Make sure to go back on parchment and send a transcript if the college you choose requires a 7th semester.
    If you have been offered a scholarship from a college/university, whether you plan to attend there or not, Columbus East wants to recognize you with your name on the bulletin board.  If you have received a letter stating your award, please bring it in and Mrs. Clark will copy or just stop by and let her know.   Also, please let either Mrs. Clark or your counselor know which colleges you have been accepted into. 
     
     
    Seniors need to register at www.parchment.com to request their transcripts.  We had a senior meeting and discussed Naviance account information with seniors.  On their Naviance account, the seniors need to make sure their email address is updated.  This is where they will automatically receive emails from East Guidance where they can click on the parchment site to request transcripts also.   Seniors  are also able to explore college and career choices along with adding their resumes to their Naviance account.
