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.

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!

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.

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:

Student and Volunteer Surveys
Yes, it’s survey time again!!
Volunteer mentor survey link
Students can also stop into ASPIRE and take the survey. I have pinned the survey to the Google Chrome icon of each computer. Simply click the Chrome icon, and the survey will appear. Each time a student completes his/her survey and hits submit, a fresh survey will appear for the next student to use.
Please remind your seniors how critical it is for them to complete these surveys – so we can keep improving how we help students – and retain funding for ASPIRE at YC!
