With January behind us, seniors have just four full months of school left before they cross the graduation stage and enter upon their post-high school educations. Still, there is much to be done to prepare for this journey.
This week, seniors should be thinking about the Twenty-first Century Scholars affirmation process.
As the clock continues to tick closer and closer to Indiana’s March 10th deadline for financial aid applications, it’s important to remember that March 10th is also the deadline for high school seniors to affirm as Twenty-first Century Scholars.
Twenty-first Century Scholars are those students who qualified for the program in 7th and 8th grade and made a pledge to stay off of drugs and alcohol, refrain from committing a crime, graduate from high school with at least a 2.0 grade point average and apply on time for financial aid. In return for keeping this pledge, students can receive up to eight semesters of free tuition to an Indiana college or university.
In order to receive their Twenty-first Century Scholarship, seniors must complete and submit both the FAFSA and an affirmation form before the March 10th deadline.
For more information on Twenty-first Century Scholars, the affirmation process or to receive an affirmation form, call Project Leadership at (765) 651-0650 or the Regional Twenty-first Century Scholars Office at (765) 289-2291, ext. 1475.
