Students, January 15th is the last day to register for the ACT given on February 6th. Also, any senior high student who did not take the Civics Test in December needs to do so as soon as possible.

Good Afternoon, We have added a page to the TCJSHS website, specifically for scholarship information. Included in that is a website called Go Merry. It has multiple national scholarship opportunities, many of which have few applicants. Do not hesitate to apply for any scholarship! Seniors, I have added the local scholarship to the website as well. The deadline is April 1. I also came across a great opportunity that senior athletes may be interested in. Please see below, and I apologize but the application closes Friday. I just found it today. In particular, we wanted to highlight one big, high-quality scholarship, due this Friday, January 8 (in 4 days!): the Foot Locker Student-Athlete Scholarship, worth $20,000 and given to 20 students. The $20k scholarship is awarded to students who “demonstrate exceptional academic ability and strong leadership skills in sports, in their schools, and within their communities.” We haven’t seen as many applications as normal for this scholarship--which means a higher than usual chance of winning! As part of the application, students will need to write two essays and get one letter of recommendation (perhaps from you!), so share this opportunity with your students ASAP so they have time to get their applications together. https://www.trimble.kyschools.us/o/trimble-county-jr-sr-high/page/scholarship-information--117
