Scholarship Opportunities – Attention Seniors!
Students and their families are encouraged to apply for grants and scholarships to reduce the financial burden of continuing their formal education after high school. While grants are generally awarded for students demonstrating financial need, scholarships are often based on merit and/or financial need considerations. Local ScholarshipsMany organizations in the Farmington area community offer scholarships for seniors. The Farmington Public Schools Local Scholarship Common Application is used to determine scholarship finalists and/or winners for the scholarships listed below. Additional local scholarships are available with separate applications and are awarded by the sponsoring organization’s scholarship committee. (Some of the additional local scholarships may also require the FPS Common Application as a supporting document.) Students should contact their high school counselor with any questions. A limited supply of printed applications is available in our Counseling Office. The FPS Common Application may be completed once for all scholarships requiring its completion. Photocopies are accepted. Local Scholarships – All High Schools

Scholarship ProtocolIf you are a senior who has received a scholarship this year, CONGRATULATIONS! The staff at FHS is proud of you and we hope you will continue your success long after you leave us. We do have one request of you, as a favor to future Falcons, to help ensure that scholarships continue to be offered in the future. Each time you receive a scholarship, we would appreciate it very much if you would write a thank you note to the sponsor. This shows the sponsor that the recipients are grateful and encourages them to continue giving without feeling their efforts have gone unnoticed or unappreciated. If you are unsure of what you should write or need help with your thank you, parents and guardians can be a great resource for you and Mrs. Rosol in the Counseling Office would be happy to help you as well. Again, congratulations to all of those who have received scholarships and we appreciate your efforts to thank those who have made it possible. Scholarship/Grant SearchesFederal Student Aid Fastweb Career Cruising MeritAid Letter of Recommendation/Transcript ProceduresThe Farmington High School Counseling Center is happy to provide students with Letters of Recommendations/Transcripts/Test Scores for any scholarship applications or summer programs. To process these requests, please allow five (5) business days. In order to be considered official, these materials must be sent directly from the Counseling Office to the sponsoring agencies, therefore, please plan accordingly the timeliness of these requests. Students must turn in all of their completed documents to their counselor before their information can be sent through the U.S. Mail. The completed information will not be given directly to the students and their families for mailing, so it is very important for the student to contact their counselor within the five day guideline in order to meet a postmark deadline. |
