Student Support Updates
On Friday, December 1, 2023, Student Support opened the Senior Class of 2024 Local Scholarship Application Google form. By filling out this short form/survey, senior students will be considered for all the local scholarships voted on by the NQHS Scholarship Committee. This form takes about 5-10 minutes to complete, making each student eligible for over 75 local scholarships! This form must be filled in and completed by March 1, 2024. Students must be signed into their Google account to access this and fill it out. https://forms.gle/yLZrZ4vH3QCNvjMC9
Student Support will visit all Senior History classes beginning December 13th to review the Scholarship Process and assist students with finding and applying for scholarships. We will also review the NQHS Local Scholarship Form during this classroom visit.
Members of Student Support will be offering a “Scholarship Q & A” in the Media Center from 6 pm to 7 pm during Parent-Teacher Conferences on Wednesday, December 6, 2023. The Q&A will assist parents and guardians in navigating the scholarship process and provide helpful information for searching and applying for local and many other scholarships.
