Scholarships

=Scholarships=

===Being a new school, we have had to build programs from scratch, including our scholarship program. As head of the scholarship committee, I have coordinated our school's efforts to identify scholarship opportunities and help get as many of our students as possible prepared to take advantage of these opportunities. Here is what I have done:===


 * ===Consulted with our faculty, as well as other schools, to identify scholarships, as well as information delivery models===
 * ===Worked with our PTSO to develop an application process for PTSO scholarships===
 * ===Collected individual scholarship information and provided this information to students through our web pages===
 * ===Provided access to quality scholarship search engines through our web pages===
 * ===Facilitated a guest speaker presentation from the Georgia Student Finance Commission to educate our students and parents about pursuing monies for college===
 * ===Created a Scholarship Alerts page to give students information about upcoming scholarship opportunities===
 * ===Created a wiki for our committee to use in our scholarship selection process (protected, but I can show you when we meet)===
 * ===Coordinated identification of candidates, as well as final selection for selected scholarships===

===I have worked hard to coordinate our scholarship efforts at Walnut Grove. This is another area, where we have gone paperless to the greatest extent possible, as you will see when you visit our Scholarship web pages.===
