Scholarship Listing and Information – The following information is available online or in Mrs. Cooper’s office as of August 30, 2007. Please note scholarship deadlines. If you are applying for Auburn or the University of Alabama, you need to do so by the end of October. The October ACT is the last chance you have to get your scores in for scholarships for these two schools. You must list their ACT codes on your ACT registration packet. Please note that even if you know you do not meet the scholarship requirements for these schools, but still want to attend as a freshman, you need to apply before December 1. Please complete a transcript release form that is found in your packet, so I may mail transcripts for you. You will need to let me know each time you apply for a particular college. Colleges only accept transcripts that come directly from the school.
