SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2016 Students ‘Make it Happen’ at scholarship night The annual “Make it Happen” scholarship night will be held Tuesday, Oct. 18, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Siuslaw High School, 2975 Oak St. Siuslaw and Mapleton High School juniors, seniors and parents are invited to attend. This informative night is not just for the top academic stu- dents or those who plan on attending a four-year universi- ty. This event is made to appeal to a vast majority of students who want to go onto a commu- nity college, university or tech- nical or trade school. The event is sponsored by Western Lane Community Foundation and Siuslaw High School ASPIRE. These organizations would like to “bust some myths” on scholarships available to the youth of greater west Lane County. Many students and parents think that the scholarships are only for top scholars and ath- letes, which is a myth. Many of the scholarships available do not take high aca- demic achievement or athletic ability or participation into consideration. A minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 is included in several scholarships criteria. Although essays are often required, it is more the content of what you write rather than how well it is written. Whether you follow the instructions and address the essay question is often more crucial to your suc- cess than how eloquently you write. This community is extreme- ly generous in supporting its youth and their future endeav- ors. Each year it might seem the same few students receive all the scholarships, when in fact organizations who award scholarships do not get a large enough pool of applicants. It is their intention that the thou- sands of dollars of scholarship money should be spread around to a larger percentage of graduating seniors. Scholarships of $500, $1,000 or more is worth a little time to invest in filling out an application. Every dollar you are awarded is a lot more than a dollar you save when you graduate. When you take out school loans the money must be repaid with interest. Even $3,000 or $4,000 per year would be a big help. Applying to two or three dozen scholar- ships increase the odds of you receiving at least one or two. There are a wide variety of scholarships to fit every stu- dent’s situation. There are scholarships for those with documented financial need and for minorities. But there are many that don’t include the financially disadvantaged or minority sta- tus. The single biggest hint on being successful in securing scholarships is finding the scholarships that fit your situa- tion and filling them out thor- oughly, legibly and completely. Competition can be fierce but you could be the perfect applicant that the organization is looking for. Don’t underesti- mate your worth but be vigilant on taking the time to fill out the application correctly. Community volunteers and scholarship representatives will be on hand to answer questions on filling out schol- arship and financial aid appli- cations. They can also dispel any other myths that may be keeping you or your student from applying for scholarships. A free USB thumb drive with local scholarship applica- tions will be available for par- ticipants. For more information, con- tact ASPIRE or the counseling office at Siuslaw High School.

Spirituali-Tea to discuss work, Boss’s Day On Monday, Oct. 17, Boss’s Day, at 6:30 p.m., everyone is invited to join a group from varied spiritual paths to dis- cuss the topic of “Work.” Pope Paul VI said, “All life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish and insensitive to the real values of life. “The very striving and hard work that we so constantly try to avoid is the major building block in the person we are today.” The main goal of the Baha’i Faith centers around the peaceful unification of the entire human race. The gathering will end at 8 p.m. with prayers for the requests left in the Prayer Pole in the garden of the Florence Playhouse and those shared by the group. The Heintz home is located at 875 Seventh St. For more information call Suzanne Mann-Heintz at 541- 590 0779. ‘Hang It All’ submissions requested for library gallery The Siuslaw Public Library’s 24th annual “Hang It All” will be on display for most of the month of November.
