Scholarships available for Hoosic Valley Juniors

Information Regarding Scholarships available for Hoosic Valley Juniors
Posted on 03/20/2020
Hoosic Valley utilizes the Naviance platform to provide information regarding scholarships. There are currently 6 scholarships available for Juniors. Each one is college specific. Students should review the list and check the colleges out online since many offer virtual tours. (All campuses are currently closed) Then they need to apply for those scholarships they are seriously interested in. One award per student - if students want to submit applications to more than one college, they need to prioritize them at the top of the applications.

These scholarships are typically the same amount that the college would award as a Merit College Scholarship to students that apply with similar GPA’s and rank in their class. If you receive one of the Junior Scholarships, apply & get accepted to that college, you may qualify for other scholarships through that college. However, they will only apply the one award with the highest dollar amount - sadly usually there is no double dipping. Every college does have their own rules regarding the financial aid process and you & your student will have to review them individually. We do not have that information here in the guidance office.

At this time we have no indication that there are any changes to the application process or availability of these scholarships due to the current public health crisis. We will forward any information as it becomes available to us.

There is an application in Naviance for each scholarship. They need to be completed by April 27th or May 1st. (Due dates are noted in Naviance and on the applications.) For those that require GPA and rank, that information will be available on the Student Portal by April 01, 2020 at the latest. We will send an email if it is pushed up prior to then. Winning an award does not guarantee acceptance to the college. Each student will still need to go through the college application process in the fall 2020.
