Jefferson State Dual Enrollment Information

College Counts Scholarship Deadline

Please see information below regarding the CollegeCounts Scholarship deadline—students must apply by April 22.

College can be the best time of your life. But paying for college isn’t easy. In fact, the cost of college can make some students afraid to even try. That’s why we created the CollegeCounts Scholarship: to provide funding assistance to Alabama high school students who demonstrate a financial need and a genuine desire to make a difference in what’s next. If you’re thinking about enrolling at an Alabama college or university, don’t let funds get in the way. The CollegeCounts Scholarship might just be for you!

This year, $1M will be awarded to deserving Alabama students.  To apply, visit http://collegecountsalabama.com/

Upcoming ASVAB Date

Jefferson State CC will host the ASVAB on April 29th at 9:00.  After the test, there will be a campus tour and lunch provided.  Please call Mrs. Cochran by Tuesday, April 26th if you need to reserve a seat.

ACT with Writing (11th Grade) on Tuesday - importance of ACT scores!

This Tuesday, April 19th, our 11th grade students will take the ACT in the band room.  Testing will start at 8:00 and  last until 12:30 (approx).  I visited the 11th graders today to pass out the free College Planner from Potential Magazine that we received at College Night on Tuesday at Jeff State. Our Career Coach, Kim Benson, hopes that we can have the group that presented back again soon.

I shared with the Juniors about the importance of the ACT and information we heard at the meeting last night.  The presenters discussed that 80% of scholarship money comes from Merit awards from schools.  These are awards based on GPA and ACT score.  An ACT score can help you with a full ride to institutions in our state and beyond.  Students have been preparing during acceleration for the ACT, but please encourage them to study at home and do their best Tuesday.  The difference in ONE point on their score can be thousands of dollars of tuition!

Please call the office if you have any questions.  :)

Mock Interviews/Resume Template

Seniors:
Mock Interviews will take place during 1st and 4th periods tomorrow.  Dual Enrollment students who want to participate will go after Mrs. Price's 4th period is finished.
Remember:
1.  Have a copy of your resume.  If for some reason you do not have one - you can use this easy resume template (borrowed from Simsbury High School)  Click on the blue PDF link in the middle of the page.
http://www.simsbury.k12.ct.us/page.cfm?p=3978
It will load gray - you need to highlight and change to black.  Modify as needed.
2.  Dress Appropriately (Dress for Success!)
3.  Remember to make eye contact and shake hands.  Wait until you are asked to be seated.
4.  This will be a generic interview - not job specific.

Feel free to message me on Remind if you have questions.

Central Alabama/Southern Union Information

Greetings!

Central Alabama Community College, Chattahoochee Valley Community College, and Southern Union State Community College are excited to share that we are combining forces to become a regional community college so that we may

ENHANCE student opportunities and student success,

SUPPORT workforce development, and

ENGAGE the lifelong learning needs of our communities, businesses, and industries.

Students attending the newly consolidated regional community college will continue to receive an excellent and affordable education as well as outstanding training opportunities to gain the skills needed for today's in-demand careers. In fact, students will benefit the most from expanded resources and multiplied possibilities! 

In keeping with the vision of the Alabama Community College System, affordable pathways to quality education and training will continue to be offered to all students with financial aid options available to students who qualify.  

As we move forward with the consolidation of our three colleges, specific steps will be taken to ensure a smooth transition for our students, beginning with the consolidation of a federal student aid code that must be included on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

·         Effective immediately, students should ADD the federal school code, 001007, on the 2016-2017 FAFSA.

·         Students who have already completed the 2016-2017 FAFSA should go back in on the www.FAFSA.gov website to make a correction and ADD the federal school code, 001007, to the FAFSA.

·         If you have already listed Central Alabama Community College, 001007, on your 2016-2017 FAFSA, no further action is needed at this time.

Please note that this federal school code is currently assigned to Central Alabama Community College; therefore, this college will appear on your FAFSA as a selected school regardless of the location you plan to attend. Once the consolidation of the three colleges has final approval by the Department of Education, the college name will automatically update to the new regional college name. 

While sharing the commitment of the Alabama Community College System to provide a unified system of institutions, our promise to you is to continue the provision of comprehensive and high quality services as we create our consolidated regional college. 

Stay tuned for additional updates. We look forward to seeing you in the Fall!
