Note: Each year the SSHS College and
Career Center offers a Financial Aid Workshop. This year it was held on
Monday, December 3, 2007 from 7-8:30 pm. If you are a parent of a college
bound high school senior, this informative workshop will give you a great
overview of how to find monies for college.

Specific College Aid
Contacting
the financial aid office of the colleges to which you are applying can be very
profitable. Ask each one about total financial aid packages. Most will require
that the FASFA be submitted prior to their assessment of available aid. Don't
forget sports as well as academic scholarships. Often a college decision is
based on the financial aid available, so compare the bottom line for each
school.
Local
Scholarships
Each
spring, applications are available to apply for local scholarships sponsored
by community members of Steamboat Springs and Routt County. They are due well
before the end of the April, to allow the various committees to make their
decisions before graduation. Students are encouraged to fill out the school
application form as well as specific applications. Letters of recomendation
may be needed as well as essays and transcripts. An early start will allow the
students to prepare their applications in a thoughtful and professional manner.
