College Applications Be sure to request counselor’s report, secondary report and transcript requests well ahead of time. Online applications are preferred. Only include information from your high school years.

Transcripts Sign clipboard for transcript request Pay Ms. Kendrick $1.00 when you pick up the ready-to-mail envelope. You mail it yourself. No charge to send an e-transcript. If taking a class at VHCC, you will have to request transcripts directly from them. SAT/ACT scores will be on your transcript if you requested them to be sent to AHS. Some schools will not accept SAT/ACT on transcript.

Letters of Recommendation Most colleges ask for at least one letter. Start asking now…teachers get overloaded with requests as deadlines near. Give them an addressed envelope with postage. You will get a better recommendation if you give the person enough time to do a good job for you. Who to ask? Teachers, Coaches, Employers, Club Sponsors, people you’ve worked with in a volunteer capacity.

Scholarships Scholarships are listed in the monthly senior newsletter, on the school website and ed to parents. Check the list often and make sure you meet deadlines. Scholarships are available for all types of programs.

Scholarship Opportunities Other websites will be published on the school web page and the senior newsletter.
