OPEN HOUSES

Colleges and Universities often have Open Houses in the fall term to allow students and parents an on-campus opportunity to meet with staff, visit facilities and talk with students. Remember to use a campus visit day, notes for visits must be submitted to Dr. Bartlett in the West Mall Office prior to the visit.

SPECIAL COLLEGE EVENTS AND NEWS

Colleges periodically make us aware of special events that occur on their campus that might be important to admissions and scholarships.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Nominations: Bearden is often asked to nominate students for selected scholarships and awards. Sometimes we can nominate several, sometimes only one. Many of these nominations will have specific criteria - certain GPA, PSAT, SAT or ACT scores or Athletic honors. We usually solicit interested students, so that we can match students of interest with institutions of interest. For example, Emory Scholars candidates would be students planning on attending Emory University. Students wishing to be considered for specific nominations MUST see Mrs. Slabbekorn to be put in the pool of potential students to nominate. IF they are selected, their counselor will notify them and provide information on the next step.

Liberty University - One alumni scholarship offering for a student applying to, accepted and planning to attend Liberty University. See Mrs. Slabbekorn in guidance if you are interested. First come - First serve.

Scholarships: The majority of scholarship monies will come from the colleges the student applies.
