APPLICATION PROCEDURE Deadline February 21st
Aspen High School coordinates almost all of the local scholarships into one general online process for students.
-
The “General Application” and required attachments: Local scholarship groups/donors use SmarterSelect, an online portal to receive applicant information. Therefore, the first step in your application process will be to set up a SmarterSelect account and submit the “General Application” including answering all of the questions in the application and uploading an essay or personal statement, transcript, resume or Common App activity sheet, and two letters of recommendation. If you will be using an AHS teacher or counselor recommendation, please indicate their names in the online application and those letters will be uploaded from Scoir to your SmarterSelect application after your application has been submitted. A FAFSA SAR is a required upload for students applying for financial need-based scholarships.
-
“Specific Scholarship Applications”: After you have submitted the “General Application”, decide the local scholarships for which you will apply. Links to all of the specific scholarships are listed below. To apply to each individual scholarship, you will need to click on its “Specific Application” link. It is through the “Specific Applications” that you may be asked to answer additional questions and/ or provide a supplemental essay.
-
“Spring Update”: Scholarship donors are very interested in where you will be attending college and what type of financial aid package that school is offering. Applicants are asked to submit a supplemental application including additional financial information and matriculation decisions. A link to the Spring Application Update will be provided to all submitted applicants.
