Scholarship Opportunities

  • IMPORTANT NOTES

    Official Transcript - signed, dated, stamped, sealed and sent by a school official; remains official only when sealed and/or submitted directly by the school.  If a scholarship requires an official transcript, you must submit the application and all supplemental documentation to the counseling office at least ONE WEEK prior to the scholarship's deadline - this is to ensure we can process your documentation in a timely manner.  Office staff will then submit everything to the scholarship on your behalf.

    Unofficial Transcript - unsigned, undated, unstamped, and unsealed; not required to be submitted directly by the school.  Current students can obtain updated transcript copies in their student Sapphire portal.  Any scholarship not requiring an official transcript can be submitted by the student unless otherwise indicated in the scholarship's requirements.

    For all applications that are to be submitted by the Counseling Office, you are responsible for ensuring you have turned in all required documentation.  This includes the application, essays, letters of recommendation, and any other supplemental documents.  It is not advisable to wait until the day of or the day before due dates to seek help on a scholarship.  If you have questions about scholarships, requirements, documentation needed, deadlines, etc., please come see us or send an email to eylerj@sgasd.org as soon as possible so that we can best assist you.
