8th Annual Scholarship Day

When: Saturday, March 14, 9 AM- 2 PM
Where: Manual Arts High School
Who: 100 LAUSD high school seniors + 100 826LA volunteers (that’s you!)
What: One-on-one writing support as students write scholarship essays

College counselors will choose three scholarships for each student to apply to. We will have a folder on the day of the event with three chosen scholarship prompts along with their UC Personal Insight Questions responses and/or CSU EOP responses. You will sit with one student and over the course of four hours help them shape their personal statements into polished essays for scholarship prompts so that they stand out compared to the hundreds of other students applying for the same scholarship.

All 826LA volunteers are eligible to sign up, a training will be held on the day of the event.

Go to the Projects Calendar to sign up for Scholarship Day. At the latest, please sign up by Monday, February 24.
