Dollars for Scholars

Are you concerned about tuition bills? Do you have a plan for financing your post-secondary goals? Check out the Oakmont Guidance bulletin board for updated lists of scholarships and awards available to senior students. Listed below are scholarship opportunities recently posted. Visit us to read a full description of each program and to pick up applications.

Scholarships and deadlines:

Also, please remember that there are a number of financial aid sites available through the Oakmont Guidance web page.

  
Course Selection 2005-2006

The course selection process for next year's classes is as follows:

  • January 27 -- Grade 8 Parent Orientation, 7:30 p.m. – Oakmont Auditorium

  • January 31 -- Grade 8 students will select courses with the assistance of Oakmont and Overlook counselors

  • February 10 -- Grades 9-11 Parent Course Selection Meeting, 6:30 p.m. -- Oakmont Auditorium

Grade 9, 10 and 11 students will meet individually with their counselors to select courses.  The process will begin with juniors on February 1, 2005. 

Students and parents are asked to give considerable thought to this process in order to better ensure appropriate placement for the 2005-06 school year.

Junior Parent College Planning Night

On Thursday, March 31 there will be a College Planning Night program in the Oakmont Auditorium for parents of Juniors.  Parental involvement and support is essential during the next year.  Knowing what to expect in your student’s college planning reduces everyone’s anxieties and makes for a more productive process.  This will be a “soup-to-nuts” presentation on post-secondary planning.  Don’t miss it!

 
Parents of Seniors

A special thank you from the guidance counselors to all of you who filled out the “parent brag sheets” last August. They were a most helpful adjunct to the college recommendation process.

  

Making College Financial Planning Count: A presentation for parents of children of all ages on how to plan for and manage college costs, the financial aid process and much more, on Thursday April 7, 2005 at 7:00 PM in the Oakmont Auditorium.

It’s FAFSA Time!

Seniors:  Your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) forms should be filed during the month of January, if possible. This form must be submitted in order to be eligible for any federal and state financial aid. Forms are available in the Guidance Office along with the Title V code numbers that you may need.  Try to mail the FAFSA as soon as possible, or file on-line at HERE.

(Also - all eighteen-year-old males - don’t forget to register for the Selective Service System - failure to do so will effect your financial aid eligibility!  You may register on line HERE or see Mr. Denny in the Guidance Office.)
