Scholarships!

Don't forget to check out Ms. Loh's website for scholarship opportunities. She has included links to popular scholarship search engines, as well as information on scholarships that students at JBHS qualify

Just go here to check out the opportunities.

As a reminder, when writing your scholarship essays...

  • Make sure your essay fits the theme and answers the prompt
  • Have a thesis statement, even if the essay is only 150 words! The reader still wants to see a clear idea
  • Share a slice of your life - don't be stiff, use your voice!
  • Be creative
  • Showcase your talents: don't just recite your resume. Show, don't tell.
  • Can you work in your interest for continuing your education?
  • Show positive energy and avoid the sob story
  • Proofread and get a second opinion!
