OSAC Scholarships Awarded by College

View / Print the Report

OSAC Scholarship Statistics by School

These stats are for year before last – but, as you can see, YC isn’t the only school that has few kids getting awards through OSAC.

Several ASPIRE coordinators have mentioned that the odds seem to go up when mentors actually sit with a student and work through the scholarship choice/filtering. Or at least get them started. Something to consider with your seniors this year.

Some Important Links

·        Link to ASPIRE Toolkit
Amazing good stuff here: Be sure to click on the FILE CABINET, which leads to even more resources.

One idea might be watch one of the short ASPIRE You Tube videos with students – and/or send them the links to do so themselves. Some good ones they could watch with parents as well.

The site is bookmarked on the ASPIRE office  computers. If you have ANY trouble accessing it, please let me know!

·        Link to ASPIRE You Tube channel


·        Link to new ASPIRE for the community video everyone is asked to review.

·        Link to FAFSA Help You Tube channel

·        Direct link to CIS  (User is YCHS / password is Tiger if link gives you trouble)


·         Link to new intake survey that ALL students – new and returning – must take. . It really only has maybe eight questions, so is real quick. Please and thank you!

CIS Fall Workshops

Career Information Systems (CIS) is offering some complimentary workshops next month. Feel like my own knowledge of CIS is only skin deep, so I plan to attend the one at PCC/Cascade campus in Portland from 12:30-3:30 p.m. on Oct. 17.

Subject: [Aspireoregon] CIS Fall workshops on the way

CIS Fall workshops are coming in October
 
ASPIRE volunteers are encouraged to learn more about CIS by attending a complimentary CIS 2014 fall workshop. This year CIS staff will travel to 13 cities throughout Oregon to provide hands-on training.  Training on the Site Administration Tools is included, along with information on new tools, such as the Application Tracker for college and scholarship applications, the Dependable Strengths Assessment, and CIS-Connection as the tool to connect students with community volunteers.

These trainings are very popular and offer quality time to network with regional colleagues while learning to use CIS efficiently and effectively.  To view a workshop schedule and to register for a fall workshop go to: https://oregoncis.uoregon.edu/workshops/register14.aspx
