Jefferson High School Scholarship Directory

Transcription

Dear Senior,
Welcome to your senior year. Many of you are making plans to attend some form of post
secondary schooling after May 2013 Graduation. Most of you will also want to apply for
financial help in the form of scholarships, loans, and/or grants.
We are very fortunate in Jefferson County to have numerous businesses and community
organizations that sponsor scholarships for students. The Guidance Departments of Jefferson and
Washington High Schools are publishing this directory, which includes most of the local
scholarship listings. There are several optional forms in the front of the book. The first is the
Scholarship Information Form which will be helpful for students in summarizing information
needed in their letters of application for scholarships. Many of the local community
organizations, as well as the scholarship selection committee, are asking students to include this
information in their letters of application. There are two worksheets that allow you to compare the
cost of attending specific schools as well as the Financial Aid Packages offered from a specific
school. Many scholarships ask students to demonstrate financial need. The last form enclosed is
an optional form that a student may select to use if he/she wishes to use it to demonstrate
financial need. This Financial Need Form is OPTIONAL. The Financial Need Form is NOT
REQUIRED and does NOT need to be included with any letters of application. It is only
enclosed for any individual who wishes to have a guide or form to use. You may develop your
own manner in which to demonstrate financial need.
Seniors and their parent(s)/guardian(s) are also required to complete the federal financial aid
form known as the FAFSA (Free Application For Student Aid) in order to receive financial aid.
This form will be available on line in late December but can not be submitted until January 1,
2013. www.fafsa.ed.gov . Students and their parent(s)/guardian(s) must register for a PIN
number in order to enter your private information required on the FAFSA form. The FAFSA is
the federal application for financial aid that most post secondary schools utilize. Seniors should
check with the financial aid office at the post secondary school which they are planning to attend.
Some schools require their own individual forms. FAFSA Workshop at JHS will be on
January 25th.
The PROMISE SCHOLARSHIP is a merit-based scholarship program that is designed
to make college affordable to all qualified West Virginia students. Students are required to take
the ACT or SAT. The Promise Scholarship Application must be submitted by March 1, 2013
online at www.cfwv.com . A student must file a FAFSA by March 1, 2013 for Promise
consideration. ( For eligibility requirements and further information, check on line at
www.cfwv.com. )
The West Virginia Higher Education Grant is also designed to make college
affordable to West Virginia students. Awards range depending on need and are applied towards
tuition and fees for a full time student at an approved West Virginia or Pennsylvania
college/university. The student must demonstrate financial need, have a 2.0 GPA, and submit
FAFSA no later than March 1, 2013. Once the FAFSA application has been sent, the student is
automatically considered for the West Virginia Higher Education Grant.
Jefferson High School will hold its annual Financial Aid Workshop on December 5,
2012. The workshop will meet in the Auditorium at 6:30 p.m. If you have questions concerning
the application process to any post secondary school or for financial aid, please contact your
senior's counselor at Jefferson High School (304)725-8491.

National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators
Award Package Comparison Worksheet
Different schools have different resources, so financial aid offers can vary greatly from school to school.
Gift aid such as grants and scholarships are ideal, but often more limited. Use this worksheet to compare
aid offers. When doing so, consider the amount of your federally-calculated expected family contribution
(EFC) and the amount offered in "self-help" aid such as work-study and student loans. There may also be
unmet need you need for aid that the school may be unable to fund--meaning that your parents may have to
borrow additional funds through the student end parent loan programs.
You will also need to know and consider each school's packaging philosophy to find out if a similar
package will be offered in future years. Will the percentage of costs covered by loans, for example, remain
constant from year to year? Will you need to meet more of your costs through work-study as you progress?
If an institutional grant is offered, is it restricted to the first year or can it be renewed? If the school's web
site or publications don't provide this information, call or visit the school's financial aid office.

Cost of Attendance Comparison Worksheet
The actual cost of attendance (COA) is unique for each student at each school. Some expenses are fixed
(tuition and fees) and others are influenced and controlled by the student's lifestyle (housing and personal
expenses). When considering the award package from a particular school, or in comparing packages from
multiple schools, you can use this worksheet to compare your cost expectations to each school's estimated
total COA. The goal of this comparison is to better decide if the difference is manageable given the
resources available to your family and the aid being offered by each school. Duplicate this worksheet as
needed.

Eastern West Virginia Community Foundation – Scholarship Program
Applying for a Scholarship – Tips and Instructions
The mission of the EWVCF is to work with local donors to build endowment and
memorial funds for our local community. These endowment funds provide grants —and
scholarships—for the Eastern Panhandle, forever.
The Community Foundation is the steward of many scholarship funds, each with its own
eligibility requirements. Eligibility might be based on the county where the applicant is
attending high school, an area of study, the college a student plans to attend, or financial
need, and other criteria.
The Community Foundation is transitioning to an on-line application process for the
2012-13 school year. We encourage students to apply on-line, but will still accept hard
copy applications during this period of transition. A small number of applications and
the listing of available scholarships will be delivered to high school guidance offices.
Both of these documents may also be downloaded from the Scholarships page of our
website at www.ewvcf.org
Submitting an Electronic application using eGrant:
1. Download and review eligibility criteria for available scholarships from the
Scholarships page of the Community Foundation website (www.ewvcf.org).
2. Navigate to the Community Foundation eGrant Home Page (either from the
EWVCF Scholarships webpage or by entering ewvcf.egrant.net into the address bar
of your browser)
3. Select “Create an account”. This will take you to a mostly blank screen (not sure
what the purpose of this page is.) Click on “Proceed”. Follow the instructions for
creating a username and password. You will use this username and password each
time you log into eGrant. You will receive email confirmation of your username and
password.
4. Once logged in, choose “EWVCF Scholarship” from the “Select a Grant-Type” dropdown menu and then click “Create New Application”. To begin working on the
application, click the green “Edit” button.
5. Clicking the “Edit” button will take you to the “Instructions” page. Please spend a
few minutes reviewing all of the instructions, specifically the required documents
you will need to include with your application (either by uploading electronically or
mailing to the Community Foundation office). Your application is incomplete
without all required documents and will not be considered.
6. Finish – When you are satisfied with your proposal, click “submit my data”. If you
want to review your data before submitting, go back to the Main Menu and click the
yellow/orange View button. Your application will open as a PDF document that you
can save to your computer or print. When you are ready to submit your application,
select the green “Edit” button and then the “Finish” tab to get back to the Submit my
Data button.
7. If you select Finish and you are missing any required information, eGrant will
prompt you to “Please Fix It” before you can submit the application.
27
eGrant TIPS:

The eGrant system is used for applying for grants and scholarships from the Eastern
West Virginia Community Foundation and it’s two affiliates, the Hardy County
Community Foundation and the Hampshire County Community Foundation. You
will see references to all three throughout. Be sure to select information pertaining to
your local Community Foundation when applicable.

Fields with an asterisk (*) are required. You’re application will not be submitted
until all these fields are populated. When a required field does not pertain to you (for
example, the FAFSA and college acceptance letter do not apply for students applying
for the Deborah, Leslie, and Christopher Bright Achievement Fund), be sure to
populate the field with zeros or by selecting N/A.

Remember to save your work as you go. Proceed to the next application section
using the Save and Next buttons.

Questions??? Don’t hesitate to call (304-264-0353) or email ([email protected]).
Key Points To Remember:










Meet the deadline - March 1st. Complete the 0n line application. The on-line
system will not accept applications after the March 1st deadline. If using paper
application mail directly to the EWVCF office with a postmarked date of March 1st
Pay attention to the eligibility criteria. When we receive your application, we
review it to make sure it meets the criteria for the scholarship. If it doesn’t, we set it
aside. It takes less time for you to check the criteria than it does for you to complete
an application for a scholarship for which you don’t qualify.
Prepare a separate application for each scholarship for which you are applying.
You may be eligible for several scholarships from the Community Foundation. We
will need a separate application for each one, whether your submitting electronically
or hard copies.
Pay attention to special criteria – a few scholarships have extra application
requirements, such as an essay. Make sure you include these.
Request a transcript be sent to the EWVCF office.
Make sure your application is complete. Make use of the application checklist,
which can be found on both pages 1 and 4 of the hard copy application and on the
instructions page of eGrant. Be sure to include everything on this list.
Include financial information – If you are applying for a scholarship that specifies
financial need in the criteria, be sure to include a copy of your completed FAFSA.
Please send the entire report, not just the Estimated Family Contribution (but be sure
to include this page, too). Note: we take the confidentiality of all information you
provide very seriously.
Don’t forget your extra-curricular activities – Don’t be shy here. Many of the
scholarships include criteria about community service, school involvement or
leadership. If you’ve been involved with these activities, make sure you include
them on the application.
Show up for your interview – For scholarships that are $1000 or more, we ask
finalists to come in for an interview. If you are a finalist for one of these
scholarships, you will receive a letter with an interview time. We only do interviews
on one day – no make-ups – so it’s very important that you keep your interview
appointment.
Ask for help if you need it – You can call the Community Foundation at 304-2640353 if you have questions or send an email to [email protected].

Jim graduated from Jefferson High in 1999. He was ranked 2nd out of 471
graduating students and received the Salutatorian Scholarship offered at Shepherd
College (now Shepherd University). While at Jefferson, Jim was involved in
many activities. He was President of the National Honor Society, member of
Student Government, member of the Academic Team, member of the Spanish
National Society, member of the Key Club, member of the Marching, Symphonic,
and Jazz Bands, Drum Major, a Representative of West Virginia’s Boys State,
selected to Who’s Who Among American High School Students, and a student
Board of Director of One Valley Bank.
Jim was a junior at Shepherd College majoring in Elementary Education. He was
a member of the Dean’s list with a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.77. In his last three
semesters he was carrying a 4.0 G.P.A. In April of 2002 he received the
McMurran Scholar Award, the highest academic honor granted by Shepherd
College. He was also inducted into the Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society
and was a member of Kappa Delta Pi.
Jim was student teaching at T.A. Lowery Elementary School when he was
diagnosed with gastric cancer, a disease that would not only end his life, but also
his life long dream of becoming an elementary school teacher. We hope to keep
Jim’s spirit alive and also help a student pursue their dream with this scholarship.
