MEFA Paying the College Bill Seminar

Parents and students are invited to attend a free seminar on paying the college bill, which will be held on Monday, March 30th, at 7:00pm in the Lowe Auditorium at Arlington High School. This seminar is offered through MEFA, the Commonwealth’s authority on planning, saving, and paying for college. An experienced MEFA representative will provide an overview of the college payment process, including the details of financial aid award letters, using payment plans, different financing options, and how to minimize debt. Before the seminar, be sure to visit MEFA’s website — mefa.org — to download a copy of the seminar presentation and explore other tools and resources to assist you in the college planning process. Also, bring your award letters with you for questions after the seminar. 

Peace Scholarship

Is there a deserving senior (class of 2015) you would like to nominate?

Peace Scholarships for one thousand dollars ($1,000) are available for students who are graduating this year.  If you know of a senior who has contributed to promoting peace or understanding in our school, community or wider area you can nominate them for this scholarship.  Numerous local congregations initiated this scholarship program several years ago as a means to promote peaceful, non-violent relationships in the schools and beyond.  Outstanding efforts have been recognized each year, some for students who have been in such programs as multicultural clubs and student mentoring, and some for students who have acted in less formal settings to resolve conflicts or build cooperation. Any adult or student who works with any high school senior in any capacity in school or community may submit a nomination. The nominee is not required to be a member of any church or religious organization.  A representative committee will select students to interview from those who are nominated.  Awardees will be announced at the annual Scholarship Awards Night.  Click here for a nomination form.  Please submit any nominations to the Guidance Office by April 3, 2015
