To: Stuart, Emily <estuart@uwa.edu>


Good morning!

 

I hope you had a relaxing and safe long weekend! Just as the subject mentioned, UWA is running a campaign to give students from select high schools a free application!  After completing the campus application, you student will enter the discount code advantageapp21 on the payment page. Don't forget to click apply to active the code. This discount code will completely waive the $30 application fee. I encourage all of my students to apply to any school they are interested in. Submitting an application with a waived fee will give your students the opportunity to view the great things UWA has to offer all while save money. We both know application fees can add up quickly! The deadline to submit a free application with the discount code advantageapp21 is September 30.

 

Also keep in mind my offer to visit with your students either through a virtual setting or in person. Please let me know if you're interested in setting up a visit.

 

Have a great week!

Applying for scholarships just got a lot easier!



Dear Southeast High School SENIORS,


Scholarships can be a helpful way to fund your college education. They provide you with free money that can go towards tuition or other educational expenses.


To find and apply for scholarships, sign up for Going Merry (https://www.goingmerry.com) -- it's free! Going Merry has thousands of national, regional, and local scholarships. There are also opportunities for every grade level, from freshmen to seniors. 


To sign up, go to: https://app.goingmerry.com/sign-up#students

You can also download the Going Merry mobile app (and sign up that way) on iOS or Android


Here are some reasons why I recommend Going Merry above other scholarship sites: 

  • Scholarship bundles: You can apply to multiple scholarships using one application and the same essay prompt.

  • Vetted scholarships: The Going Merry team personally reviews every scholarship listing on the site, to ensure the scholarship program is still active and the information is correct.

  • Personal matching: Once signed up, you'll answer a few questions to fill out a basic profile, and then get matched to scholarships that fit your background, academics, interests, etc. 

  • Clear organization: You can shortlist favorites and get deadline reminders about them. All drafts and applications are saved, and you'll get updates on the scholarships you've applied to. 

  • Direct, auto-filled applications: You can apply to many scholarships directly on the site (with forms helpfully pre-filled). 


Happy applying--and good luck winning, like these students did!)


Kind regards,

Sydney Ethridge
