Dear Students and Parents:
After you have read this booklet, it is obvious that individuals and businesses
in our community are anxious for every Graham High School graduate to have
an opportunity for a postsecondary education. Historically, the scholarships
have provided the means for GHS graduates to become successful in a wide
variety of careers. For the support and generosity shown our graduates, we
are deeply grateful and appreciative.
This booklet contains the information provided to us by the scholarship
donors. Read the information for each scholarship very carefully and follow
the directions given. Pay close attention to the application form required and
to the scholarship deadlines listed for each scholarship. All applications
require you to attach a transcript. Students will receive a copy of their
transcript in mid-January and may make as many copies as they need. The
GHS Common Scholarship Application is used for most of the scholarships
and it is found online at www.grahamisd.com on the counseling web page.
Check each scholarship for instructions on whether the application is to be
returned to the GHS counselor’s office or whether it is to be mailed to the
address listed in the information for that scholarship. Almost all of the
scholarships use the March 17th deadline, but some may use a different
deadline.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact the
GHS counselors at 549-4030. We are very proud of our GHS seniors, and we
want to make sure each of them has every opportunity to continue their
education after high school. We are thankful that we live in a generous
community that helps make this dream come true for so many students!
Sincerely,
Robert Loomis
GHS Principal

FEDERAL AND STATE FINANCIAL AID
Federal financial aid is available through the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), commonly known as the Pell Grant.
Applications are available through the GHS counselors’ office, but the
U.S. government prefers that students apply online. The website is
www.fafsa.ed.gov. The student and one parent need to get a personal
identification number (PIN) to use as the electronic signature. To get a
PIN number, go to www.pin.ed.gov. Every student who plans to attend
an institution of post-secondary education needs to complete the FAFSA
application. Vocational schools, colleges and universities use the
information not only as a basis for determining the financial needs of
universities use the information not only as a basis for determining the
financial needs of a student, but also as a criteria for scholarships given
from the college or university. Students planning to attend a postsecondary institution in the fall following graduation from high school
can file a FAFSA form after January 1 of their senior year.
TEXAS GRANT
State financial aid is available through the Texas Grant to students who
graduate from GHS on either the recommended graduation plan or the
distinguished achievement graduation plan who have financial need.
Colleges and universities use the information on the FAFSA form to
determine Texas Grant eligibility. Students and parents should mention
6
eligibility to the college or university financial aid counselor. For more
