College!
November is Apply to College Month
November is Apply to College Month in Georgia, an initiative to help students apply to college with the assistance of college application fee waivers. The University System of Georgia and the Technical College System of Georgia are waiving fees from November 1 through November 30, 2024. Students should log into their Futures account, look at their Georgia Match colleges, "claim their spots," and apply and take advantage of the waived fees.
For seniors who need help with a college application or transcript request, counselors are available every Tuesday in the cafeteria outside the Coffee Shop during both lunch periods. Seniors can also make an appointment to see your counselor.
GEORGIA MATCH
GEORGIA MATCH is a simple way for seniors to know where they are eligible for admission (to be admitted to college) based on their recent high school-calculated HOPE grade point average (GPA). The State of Georgia wants to make it easy for seniors to see where they could attend college in Georgia based on their current academic records and to apply to institutions, they are most interested in attending!
Seniors will still need to submit a college application to the college they "claim a spot " at. GEORGIA MATCH colleges can be found on the GAfutures Student Dashboard. Log in to view the colleges and apply by following a few steps. In November, the application fee is also waived for these colleges.
For more information visit GEORGIA MATCH at GAfutures.org.
GSFAPP for HOPE and Zell Miller
Georgia Student Finance Commission, which handles HOPE and Zell Miller Scholarships, advises all seniors to complete the GSAFAPP application found on GAfutures.org. Even if students complete FAFSA (which opens in December 2024), they ask that students also complete the GSFAPP. It takes only a few minutes and can also be done via a mobile device. The application is good for 10 years and needs to be done only once in a student’s college career. Create a GAfutures.org account and submit the application as soon as possible. The deadline to submit is your graduation day from Cambridge High School.
Submitting Test Scores for Zell Miller
To meet the eligibility requirement for the Zell Miller Scholarship, seniors must submit their SAT or ACT score to GAfutures.org. Eligibility includes: 3.7 HOPE calculated GPA at graduation, 1200 SAT or 25 ACT from one test date, and four rigor courses. A senior's HOPE GPA can be checked in their GAfutures.org account. For more information on submitting test scores, visit GAfutures.org HOPE & Zell Miller Scholarships.
