Seniors:


Countdown to the last school day in 2019- *10 school days to December 20th.*
It is the last day for help with Common Application or Coalition, essays,
or letters of recommendation before winter vacation.


*Essay readers will be in the CCC all next week, Monday- Thursday*,
starting Monday 12/9 at  9:00 AM with essay reader, Jamie Keller.



*‘Tis the season to apply for scholarships-*


*Berkeley Community Scholars staff* will be back *in the CCC on Thursday,
December 12th at lunch* if you missed the first information meeting.  Lynn
Walker and Linda Osuorji will tell you about the 4 year mentorship and
grant they award to eligible students.


*How to apply for scholarships:*

   1. *Look at each school* you are applying to for their scholarship
   opportunities, eligibility, requirements, and deadlines.
   2. *Look at websites* and plan ahead for a scholarship.  Ask everyone if
   they know of scholarships- employers, churches, temples, civic groups,
   sororities, fraternities, and more.
   3. *Save your essays* in google docs from college applications which may
   be used for the scholarship application.
   4. Ask 1-2 people for a strong *letter of recommendation*.  Recommenders
   may upload or mail a letter of recommendation directly to the scholarship
   group.


*Here is a spreadsheet with scholarship opportunities in monthly tabs at
the bottom:*
