Notes and Information for Applying for a Scholarship

  1. Photostatic Copies of Standardized Test Scores:  Students may submit photostatic copies of their standardized test scores with their application.   The Board will also accept test scores appearing on a student’s high school transcript or a screen shot of the student’s online test score report from the testing company.
  2. Submitting Supporting Documents and Recommendations:
    1. Students may submit supporting documents up until the deadline for submitting applications:  November 29, 2023, 3:00 p.m. Central.  After the deadline for submitting applications has passed, only counselors can submit supporting documents on behalf of students.  All supporting documents must be submitted by Friday, December 1, 2023, 3:00 p.m. Central.
    2.   The deadline for the submission of recommendations is Friday, December 1, 2023, 3:00 p.m. Central.
  3. Teacher Evaluation:  The required teacher evaluation must come from a teacher who has taught the student in 9th, 10th, 11th and/or 12th grade.  Evaluations from a teacher who taught the student in elementary or junior high/middle school will not be accepted unless the teacher has also taught the student in high school. Evaluations from an academic advisor, academic coach, athletic coach,  extracurricular advisor or any other person will not be accepted unless the recommender has also taught the student as a classroom teacher in grades 9,10,11 and/or 12. Only one teacher evaluation will be accepted.
  4. Grades from Senior Year:  We do not require and will not consider grades from courses taken during the senior year in high school.  A complete transcript(s) showing grades earned in all courses from the beginning of 9th grade through the end of 11th grade is sufficient for our purposes.
  5. SAT:  Because the SAT is now the standardized test taken by all Colorado high school juniors, we require it for all applicants.  If students so choose, they may also submit ACT  and Advanced Placement test scores.
  6. College Selection:  Applicants will be requested to list on their applications up to eight colleges or universities to which they have or intend to apply.  In listing the colleges or universities, applicants are not committing themselves to attending one of those institutions. If selected as a recipient, applicants may use their Mary John Goree Las Animas County Scholarship at any accredited four-year college or university in the United States.
