How Important Are Grades?
Grades are very important. Earn good grades (As and Bs) each year to maintain a high Grade Point Average (GPA). A high GPA will benefit you when you are ready to apply for school and are applying for Financial Aid or scholarships! Some schools will allow you to enter their Honors Programs with and award you a scholarship if you have a high GPA. Study, do homework assignments, read, and practice writing. Most importantly, COMMUNICATE with your teachers! Do not assume you have a good grade, VERIFY!
How Will I Pay for College?
There are many options to help finance your education. Dedicate a few hours or days to researching your favorite college. Find out what type of financial aid or scholarships they offer. Or ask your favorite teacher if they know of any private scholarship funds you can apply for. Make sure you take advantage of Maya's Financial Aid workshops and be an activate participant in every step of the application process!
