On Wednesday February 8th the College and Career Center will be hosting a SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION WORKSHOP in the MDHS Library and Computer Lab. We will have "hard-copies" of all MDHS Scholarships and the common application form. Many of the scholarships are for Mt. Diablo Students only but you must submit an application -- a personal essay is required.
During the workshop students will have access to computers as needed to pull vital information from their files (e.g., FAFSA or Dream Act receipt.) They will also be able to direct questions directly to Mr. Rowe our College and Career Adviser. This is the only scholarship workshop that will be conducted and we are rapidly approaching deadlines. All you need is your social security number a FAFSA generated EFC score or a Dream Act receipt. ALL AVAILABLE SCHOLARSHIPS REQUIRE ONE OF THESE TWO FORMS OF DOCUMENTATION.
(All Seniors, please note that all available MDHS scholarships are listed in your Naviance Accounts on the Scholarships page.)
