College Board Opportunity Scholarships
Deadline July 31, 2020
The disruption from school closings is hard to navigate, but like you, the College Board is committed to ensuring rising seniors don’t lose college planning momentum. The College Board Opportunity Scholarships program is open to all students from the class of 2021 and guides them through important steps in the college planning process at their own pace at home.
When students take the first two steps—exploring college and practicing for the SAT®—they’ll qualify for $500 and $1,000 scholarships just by getting ready for college. And they don’t even have to get off the couch.
Help students build a college list: This $500 scholarship closes on July 31 for the class of 2021. Students can use their mobile phones or any other device to build a start list of colleges using the college planning site BigFuture™.
Support your students with SAT practice: Students become eligible for a $1,000 scholarship when they practice for at least 6 hours with Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy®.
It’s important to encourage students to complete the first step—building a college list—by July 31 so they don’t miss out on a chance to win $40,000 for college.
This resource contains more information about supporting students at home to complete the first two steps: Build Your College List and Practice for the SAT. Students can head to cb.org/opportunity to get started.
Any student participating in ANY extra curricular activity needs a sports physical before beginning that sport. Alliance Health Care is offering free physicals through July 31.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you want to check and see if you have ordered a book. bngreen@smps.k12.ok.us Also, remember, you can order a free digital copy.

Parents, we need your help! Some of the high school students are not turning in their work. Please make sure your students are completing the assignments in Spark or the paper work which has been sent to them if internet access is not available and returning the completed assignments to the teachers. This is work which is beneficial to the students and we don't want their skills to slip. It will be difficult for teachers in the future to write recommendation letters for scholarships and opportunities if students are not turning in their work and finishing out the year since the opportunity is available to them. They are welcome to accelerate through in classes where they can and get the year wrapped up, but it is important that they finish. Thanks for your support!

Career Tech UPDATED ENROLLMENT PROCEDURES!
First - thank you all so much for working with us this year on our new enrollment process. - especially now with everything you all have going on! I know your worlds are CRAZY and I genuinely appreciate everything you all do for us!!!
Due to the Covid 19 quarantine, we will be making some changes for the Fall 2020 enrollment. These changes will only affect new students wanting to attend Career Tech. Our current students have already enrolled with us for next year and do not need to do anything else – unless they are changing programs, for example, an Auto student who wants Health next year will have to go through the Health Careers interview process.
Below is a list of the changes that are being made for entrance into our programs:
1. Auto: Interviews will be held in August
2. Construction: Interviews will be held in August
3. Diesel: Interviews will be held in August
4. Health Careers: Interviews will be conducted through the month of April. Please have your students call Don Gaines at 512-705-2267 to set up an interview. Students will need to either fax or e-mail their two required reference forms and questionnaire to: dgaines@hptc.edu or fax – 580-571-6180.
5. Marketing Management: Interviews will be conducted through the month of April. Please have your students call Katrina McDowell at 580-571-6170 to schedule an interview. Students will need to email or fax the one required reference to: kmcdowell@hptc.edu or fax – 580-571-6180.
6. Multimedia: Interviews will be conducted through the month of April. Please have your students call Richard Kirksey at 405-630-7743to schedule an interview. Students will need to email or fax the two required references and questionnaire to: rkirksey@hptc.edu or fax – 580-571-6180.
7. Freshman TAP – Interviews will be conducted through the month of April. Please have students call Danna Goss at 580-243-8416
The following programs have open enrollment and do not require an entrance interview – BAM, Service Careers and Welding.
In order to set up an interview, please have the student call the instructor, and then the instructor will set up a zoom meeting with the student. After they have all their meetings, I will send a list of the students who interviewed, and request a copy of their transcripts and attendance records from the school.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call me on my cell - 580-254-4789 and PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP YOU GUYS!!!!
If you have items in your lockers at the high school, please come to the school today or tomorrow between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to pick them up. If you are unable to pick it up this week, please call the high school office to make arrangements to pick it up next week. Any items not picked up will be donated.
There will be no career tech classes the remainder of the school year. Students will have the grade for credit they had at the end of the third 9 weeks. In addition, there will be no sophomore TAP next year.
Students, hope you're taking time out from online learning to get some exercise, take up some new hobbies, or spend time with your family making some special memories. Don't stress over the challenges of learning online. Keep in touch with your teachers by email and let them know if you're having problems or if you have questions.
Parents, it's important to keep your students emotionally healthy during this time. Encourage them to learn some new skills like building items out of recycled materials, crocheting, take them fishing or bike riding. Plan a picnic together. Take advantage of this time to have some fun together. It's important to give them purpose and fun along with their studies. This is such a contrast to the time they are accustomed to spending with friends and schoolmates they may experience some emotional lows.
If there's anything you need help with or if you have questions, feel free to contact any of your teachers or Mrs. Hopper as counselor. Stay healthy! Hope to have life back to normal soon!

College can be expensive. That’s why scholarships for women are so valuable. First, they help lower the cost of going to school, which is worthwhile in itself. Second, they are only open to female students, making them potentially less competitive.
If you have a female student getting ready to head to college, here is the ultimate list of scholarships for women and girls.
If your student isn’t sure what degree she will pursue or simply wants to apply for awards that don’t require a specific major, general scholarships are an excellent choice. This site includes scholarships that aren’t restricted to specific fields, making them more flexible than some other options, like scholarships for women in STEM.
Apply today!

Applications are due by April 1, 2020 and the scholarship award recipients will be notified by the end of April. The awards will be made directly to the accredited post-secondary education institution upon confirmation of full-time enrollment of the scholarship recipient. The scholarship will be awarded based on a point system for scholastic achievement, financial need and activities / citizenship. Students should be encouraged to completely answer all questions. Applicants do not have to be affiliated to the oil & gas industry, but additional points are awarded for immediate family members that are actively involved in the industry. Last year we were able to award 4 scholarships to graduating HS seniors for $1500 each. They were from various schools in the tri-state area. Any questions can be directed to Katie Shirley at kshirley@hptc.edu or (580) 571-6106 as a representative of the TSOGC Scholarship Committee.

Concurrent enrollment (college classes while in high school) is available to juniors and seniors with tuition paid by the Oklahoma State Regents for seniors on 18 hours and NWOSU will waive tuition on 6 hours for juniors. Students pay only the class fees and for books. Check with the registrar's office at the college you choose to see how much the fees are. Students have to have at least a 19 in reading and a 19 in any subject area they wish to take classes in on their ACT. That's one more reason it's important for students to begin taking their ACT. I recommend once toward the end of the year their freshman and sophomore years and 2-4 times their junior and senior year. Get signed up at actstudent.org. Mrs. Hopper can help you to see if you qualify to take concurrent classes and help you get signed up.
Check out Oklahoma's Promise for your students in grades 8-10 at https://www.okhighered.org/okpromise/. It is a tuition payment program for qualifying students whose family has an adjusted gross income of $55,000 or less.

For convenience and wider statewide access, this year's Oklahoma Scholarship Competition will be 100% online. This timed test will be available all day on Saturday, March 28th. Students in grades 9-12 are eligible to participate in the exam. All students must pre-register by Friday, March 13th at 5 p.m.

the Jimmie L Dean Scholarship Foundation is now taking applications for the 2020-2021 academic year through April 15, 2020 at our website www.jimmiedeanfoundation.org
Every year since 2010, we have provided individual scholarships of up to $10,000 per year to outstanding Oklahoma students who attend Oklahoma colleges and Universities. Since our first awards in the 2010-2011 School year we have provided actual funds of almost $1 million.
Our mission is to provide financial assistance to Oklahoma students who will attend Oklahoma colleges and universities that we feel will remain in out great state after graduation and contribute to the Oklahoma economy for many years.
This award does not consider income levels, hardship conditions, or a specific entrance test score (although we do require a minimum 25 ACT score for 4 year colleges and Universities and 17 for OSUIT students). We do take into consideration the test score when trying to project a student's success in their chosen major area of study. We are simply looking for true Oklahomans who may find themselves in the position of not having sufficient funds to attend college but have income levels that preclude them from receiving enough financial assistance to cover their costs of attendance.
Our awards are structured in a manner to fill in the gap between the scholarships and awards already earned by a student and the cost of tuition and academic fees plus room and board charges, with the goal to eliminate or reduce the need for student debt.
The qualities we are looking for are students who are responsible citizens who have worked hard and have achieved good academic standing. We view a student's work history, their expected major, their academic achievement and recommendations from those they have been associated with as a body of work to eventually make our decision as to who will receive an award.
Our application form provides an avenue for a short student essay to allow them to introduce themselves to our foundation. We rely upon this to help select our finalists each year. We encourage you to communicate to prospective students they take this opportunity very seriously. You would be surprised as to how many essays simply state the students need for money or tell us about the other members of their family but really nothing about themselves. In all candor we already know they need money or they would not be applying and telling us about family members is only relevant if it provides insight into the student. We want to know about the student, what jobs they have held, what would make them a good investment for us, and how do they exemplify the qualities of the Foundation.
Our awards are primarily awarded to students who will be pursuing degrees that are science related rather than arts majors. Therefore, some of the majors we will not consider are music, performing arts, English, literature, Psychology, Sociology, Journalism, Business, Pre-law, Political Science, Music, Education or similar majors. In short, we are looking for students who are wanting to make or build things or serve in a health science field.
Join us for the Sharon-Mutual Junior High Tournament January 13, 16, and 18 in Mutual.
A tremendous thank you to Bob Kleuser for donating the basketball banners for the new gym! They look great!

OMRF Accepting 2020 Fleming Scholarship Applications
OMRF is accepting applications for its 2020 Sir Alexander Fleming Scholar Program. The application deadline is Feb. 1.
The eight-week summer program allows the state’s top science students to enhance their research skills by gaining hands-on experience in a lab setting alongside some of the top researchers in their fields.
High school seniors, as well as college freshmen, sophomores and juniors, are eligible to apply. Students must be Oklahoma residents at the time of high school graduation to be eligible.
The application process includes submission of a long-form essay, letters of recommendation and academic transcripts. Students must be 16 or older to qualify. Once selected, Fleming Scholars are paid and may be eligible for housing.
“This program has provided a springboard for many careers in science and medicine, and there’s really nothing else like it in the state at this stage in a student’s journey,” said Fleming program coordinator Heather Hebert. “This is an opportunity to get experience that cannot be emulated in a classroom setting.”
The program is named for Nobel Prize-winning scientist Sir Alexander Fleming, who discovered penicillin and also dedicated OMRF’s first building in 1949.
Since the inception of the program in 1956, more than 600 Oklahoma students have had the opportunity to work in state-of-the-art labs at OMRF. Two current OMRF vice presidents, Rodger McEver, M.D., and Judith James, M.D., Ph.D., started their research careers as Fleming Scholars.
For application information, visit omrf.org/fleming.

Greetings from Bacone College! Bacone College in Muskogee, Oklahoma and we are Oklahoma's oldest higher education institution. Our institution is returning to its historical mission to educate American Indians. As we prepare to transition to a tribal college, we are seeking out all Native students who wish to earn a college degree within a diverse campus community. We offer small class sizes and understand the factors that keep our Native youth from completing their degree. Our staff is trained and willing to help all of our students become successful.
We also offer our students the opportunity to play collegiate athletics. We currently offer all American Indian students a $10,000 scholarship per academic year!!!
I pray that you have students within your district that would be a good fit for Bacone College.
I have attached three fliers for your reading. One shows the academic programs, admission requirements, fun facts, and the other is an invite for your students to attend a native American Day on our campus. We understand that travel may be an issue and can offer an alternative for those who wish to attend but are unable.
I am available by email and phone for any questions.
I hope to hear from you soon,
MVTO(Thank you),
Kaila

CLEP® exams help students earn college credit for what they already know for a fraction of the cost of a college course.
For the 2018-19 school year, more than 140 high schools offered CLEP to their students, helping them earn more than 52,000 credits and saving them roughly $17 million in college tuition.
Consider CLEP as an option for students who:
•
Are fluent in Spanish, French, or German
•
Attend a school that doesn’t offer an AP® course they’re interested in
•
Are unavailable to test during the AP or International Baccalaureate (IB) testing window
•
Have prior knowledge in a CLEP exam subject
To learn how CLEP can supplement your high school curriculum, email us at clep@collegeboard.org.
On behalf of Colonel David Fallon, Marine Corps Commanding Officer in the
Midwest region, I wanted to make you aware of an opportunity to see the
process of young men and women becoming U.S. Marines. Each year, the Marine
Corps hosts high school influencers in San Diego to become better informed on
the recruitment process, entry-level training, career opportunities, the
emphasis on education in the Marine Corps, and to dispel myths and assumptions
based on USMC stereotypes, family support, and community services.
This program is an all-expenses paid, one-week immersion program where you can
have the chance to stand on the infamous yellow footprints, observe and talk
to recruits in recruit training, shoot the Marine Corps service rifle,
interact with drill instructors, participate in the Bayonet Assault Course,
and witness a recruit graduation ceremony.
The following are links to videos on what your peers have said about our
program:

If this interests you, and you think you're up to the challenge, please
contact 9th Marine Corps District at 9MCD_MidWestMarines_OMB@marines.usmc.mil
and we will contact you promptly. Please provide the following: school, phone
number and location so the Marine Corps contact in your area can provide you
more information on specific dates.
We look forward to hearing from you.
