Each scholarship has an application, unless otherwise noted. It will be either a common

Specific applications will only be available on Naviance and can be accessed until

Friday, March 4, 2016. Students are responsible for mailing (postmarked by) or

delivering completed applications to scholarship donors by Saturday, March 5th. If you

STUDENT DIRECTIONS FOR APPLYING FOR LOCAL SCHOLARSHIPS

Southington High School makes available Local Scholarships eligible to Southington students and

awarded at the Scholarship Awards Program in May.

Go through this Local Scholarship listing and identify all that you qualify for.

Complete the common application for scholarships requiring it, leaving the name of the

scholarship blank (you will fill this in after making the proper number of copies for all those

scholarships you are applying which require the common application).

For scholarships that require a specific application, log into “Naviance Family Connection”

In Naviance under the “Colleges” tab, scroll down to the “Scholarships and Money” section and

click on “Scholarship List”.

To review these scholarships, access the pull down menu next to “browse by category” and click

“Local Scholarships”. These local scholarships are noted with an asterisk and the word “LOCAL”

as well as being in all upper case letters.

View these scholarships carefully. Only apply for those scholarships for which you qualify. For instance,

if your career choice is nursing, then you should not be applying for scholarships designed for students

who want to be teachers.

Most scholarships require the common application, unless otherwise specified. Specific applications that

are required can be found on Naviance.

Follow directions! Applications must be neat and legible. You must provide all requested information.

Not following directions may cost you a scholarship!

Before you submit your applications for consideration you must pick up your class rank and GPA labels

from the School Counseling Office the week of February 29nd

. You are responsible for affixing these

labels to your applications on the top, right hand corner. You will receive only 30 labels. Therefore,

when using the Common Application you may choose to complete one copy, attach label and make

copies. Do not fill in scholarship name before making your copies. After copying, you will then put

name of scholarship on each application.

All applications must be completed and mailed (postmarked) or delivered to sponsoring organization

by Saturday, March 5th. Addresses of each scholarship’s contact person/organization are indicated in

this listing.

The local scholarship listing & common application will only be available online through Friday, March
