I hope you find this bulletin informative – If you have any
questions please see me in P16
Angela Flores is the new San Jac counselor this year. She will be
here at Dobie in the College Room (located in library) on Monday
and Thursday of every week
This year I am going to try to put everything on one bulletin
These bulletins are not designed for printing. The majority of
scholarships have links to them so it is more beneficial to pull the
bulletins up online so that you have access to the links. I will send
out bulletins every 2-4 weeks. As a deadline passes I will delete it
from the bulletin (scholarships with # on them are paper copies
located in College Connection Tower in cafeteria, Counseling
Office, P16, and College Room in library
(Refer to the 1st bulletin I sent for SAT/ACT info and other Dobie
and college info)
Parents and Students: If you would like for me to send bulletins via email to you send me
an email stating you would like for me to add you to my list
