WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.140 --> 00:00:03.130 So, I'm Nancy Wolfe. 2 00:00:03.130 --> 00:00:04.750 I'm one of the college counselors 3 00:00:04.750 --> 00:00:07.563 and this is Sheri Crigger. 4 00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:10.150 I am the college counselor 5 00:00:10.150 --> 00:00:13.860 at New Century, Columbia High School, 6 00:00:13.860 --> 00:00:15.540 and Huntsville High School. 7 00:00:15.540 --> 00:00:17.893 And Sheri, do you want to introduce yourself? 8 00:00:20.270 --> 00:00:22.850 Sure, I am the college counselor 9 00:00:22.850 --> 00:00:25.903 at Grissom, Jemison, and Lee High Schools. 10 00:00:28.430 --> 00:00:31.090 We're split, we're taking turns on these sessions, 11 00:00:31.090 --> 00:00:33.490 but normally when we're in school, 12 00:00:33.490 --> 00:00:36.853 we're at the schools one or two days a week. 13 00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:39.414 Yes. 14 00:00:39.414 --> 00:00:40.993 We love them all. 15 00:00:42.740 --> 00:00:45.970 So maybe not the most riveting session, 16 00:00:45.970 --> 00:00:50.900 but this is a kind of how to session about Naviance. 17 00:00:50.900 --> 00:00:53.330 The deal with Naviance is 18 00:00:53.330 --> 00:00:54.720 the reason we decided to do this is 19 00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:58.970 we always get a lot of questions about seniors, primarily, 20 00:00:58.970 --> 00:01:00.663 how to use Naviance. 21 00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:05.400 This is how they have to request transcripts 22 00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:07.410 for their schools that they're applying to. 23 00:01:07.410 --> 00:01:10.200 So if nothing else, they need it for that. 24 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:11.700 There are a couple other things 25 00:01:11.700 --> 00:01:15.440 that are very useful tools in Naviance. 26 00:01:15.440 --> 00:01:18.270 This is not a wordy PowerPoint. 27 00:01:18.270 --> 00:01:22.240 I mostly did screenshots to walk everybody through 28 00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:24.253 how to do these things. 29 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:28.920 Also, we are keeping track of who's attending. 30 00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.790 That is my work cell phone number 31 00:01:31.790 --> 00:01:34.180 on the screen in the green area. 32 00:01:34.180 --> 00:01:36.780 If you would, and you're probably gonna hear my phone ding, 33 00:01:36.780 --> 00:01:40.030 but I don't know how to actually turn volume off, 34 00:01:40.030 --> 00:01:44.380 but if you will text me your name 35 00:01:44.380 --> 00:01:47.420 and the school that you attend or are a part of 36 00:01:47.420 --> 00:01:48.330 that would be great. 37 00:01:48.330 --> 00:01:51.040 We're just trying to make sure, you know, 38 00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:53.930 how well we're getting the information out and all of that. 39 00:01:53.930 --> 00:01:57.200 And I'm going to start talking while y'all are doing that. 40 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.360 So, let me turn that off. 41 00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:04.720 So this, particularly, is geared towards seniors. 42 00:02:04.720 --> 00:02:08.780 So this is a list of all the things that seniors 43 00:02:09.770 --> 00:02:14.700 usually use or can use Naviance for. 44 00:02:14.700 --> 00:02:17.040 One is keeping a list of colleges 45 00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:18.453 that they're interested in, 46 00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:24.110 two, searching for scholarships, requesting transcripts, 47 00:02:24.110 --> 00:02:27.090 college searches, investigating careers. 48 00:02:27.090 --> 00:02:28.500 There are self-assessments 49 00:02:28.500 --> 00:02:31.660 related to that career investigation 50 00:02:31.660 --> 00:02:34.243 and also creating a resume. 51 00:02:35.910 --> 00:02:40.910 We suggest to students that over the summer 52 00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:45.260 they work on creating a resume 53 00:02:45.260 --> 00:02:48.170 because they will need that at some point. 54 00:02:48.170 --> 00:02:51.880 They might not need the resume itself physically on paper, 55 00:02:51.880 --> 00:02:54.800 but they will need the information on the resume, 56 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:56.610 especially when they sit down 57 00:02:56.610 --> 00:02:59.080 to fill in college applications 58 00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.360 or more likely scholarship applications. 59 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.340 That way it's right there in front of them. 60 00:03:03.340 --> 00:03:05.070 They don't have to reinvent the wheel 61 00:03:05.070 --> 00:03:07.453 every time they're filling out an application. 62 00:03:08.370 --> 00:03:12.930 Okay, so first thing is these are the instructions 63 00:03:12.930 --> 00:03:15.043 for how to log in to Naviance. 64 00:03:16.770 --> 00:03:17.603 And again, 65 00:03:17.603 --> 00:03:19.940 you're welcome to screenshot any of these screens. 66 00:03:19.940 --> 00:03:21.210 I don't care. 67 00:03:21.210 --> 00:03:23.580 We also sent these out 68 00:03:24.640 --> 00:03:27.660 I think last Friday, if I'm not mistaken, 69 00:03:27.660 --> 00:03:30.980 with our weekly email and attached it to those. 70 00:03:30.980 --> 00:03:34.660 Students should be getting emails as well as parents. 71 00:03:34.660 --> 00:03:38.870 And if you're not getting an email to your email account, 72 00:03:38.870 --> 00:03:41.100 you can go into your Naviance account 73 00:03:41.100 --> 00:03:44.710 and edit your personal information and add your email. 74 00:03:44.710 --> 00:03:46.390 But when you go into Naviance, 75 00:03:46.390 --> 00:03:50.210 there is a message option on the front on the homepage. 76 00:03:50.210 --> 00:03:52.550 And you'll see that you have messages in there from me 77 00:03:52.550 --> 00:03:56.390 and those are, you know, the emails that I'm sending out. 78 00:03:56.390 --> 00:03:59.600 But logging into Naviance, 79 00:03:59.600 --> 00:04:01.790 you can do it several different ways, 80 00:04:01.790 --> 00:04:05.880 but the easiest way is to go through the Clever app 81 00:04:05.880 --> 00:04:09.440 on your home screen on your laptop. 82 00:04:09.440 --> 00:04:12.560 Because that way, once you get into Clever, 83 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.250 I think the Naviance app is a teal color. 84 00:04:15.250 --> 00:04:16.540 Then you click on that 85 00:04:17.810 --> 00:04:21.420 and you do not have to use a username or password. 86 00:04:21.420 --> 00:04:24.160 So that's really nice. 87 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.270 So I would say all students need to do that. 88 00:04:27.270 --> 00:04:31.380 Now there are usernames and passwords for parents. 89 00:04:31.380 --> 00:04:34.983 So parents, if you want to use the Naviance app, 90 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:39.280 you're more than welcome to but you will need to email 91 00:04:40.770 --> 00:04:43.690 me or Ms. Crigger or the senior counselor 92 00:04:43.690 --> 00:04:46.390 in order to get your username and password. 93 00:04:46.390 --> 00:04:50.170 And we will be happy to help you with that. 94 00:04:50.170 --> 00:04:51.820 And as far as parents go, 95 00:04:51.820 --> 00:04:56.820 the way you would log into Naviance is this option three. 96 00:04:58.090 --> 00:05:00.380 That is how parents would have to go in. 97 00:05:00.380 --> 00:05:02.980 'Cause obviously y'all, don't have the Clever app. 98 00:05:02.980 --> 00:05:05.880 So, okay, moving right along. 99 00:05:05.880 --> 00:05:08.740 If at any time you have questions 100 00:05:08.740 --> 00:05:10.670 or if I kind of gloss over something, 101 00:05:10.670 --> 00:05:12.460 you're like, wait, I didn't get all that, 102 00:05:12.460 --> 00:05:14.713 please put them in the chat box. 103 00:05:16.534 --> 00:05:17.930 Sheri's gonna be monitoring that. 104 00:05:17.930 --> 00:05:19.940 And then we'll answer questions at the end 105 00:05:19.940 --> 00:05:21.920 'cause I don't anticipate this presentation 106 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.740 take the whole half hour so we can do this. 107 00:05:24.740 --> 00:05:27.230 So like I said, this is not a wordy PowerPoint. 108 00:05:27.230 --> 00:05:28.380 It's screenshots. 109 00:05:28.380 --> 00:05:31.893 I made a test student for this. 110 00:05:33.310 --> 00:05:36.440 And so right when you log in, 111 00:05:36.440 --> 00:05:40.550 so once you go into Clever and then you log into Naviance, 112 00:05:40.550 --> 00:05:42.770 this is the home screen that you see. 113 00:05:42.770 --> 00:05:45.040 And I'm gonna shrink my little box here. 114 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.750 So this is the home screen that you see. 115 00:05:47.750 --> 00:05:52.750 And we're gonna talk about requesting transcripts first, 116 00:05:53.270 --> 00:05:57.010 because that's the most often used 117 00:05:57.010 --> 00:06:01.640 I'd say capability of Naviance for seniors. 118 00:06:01.640 --> 00:06:06.010 So this is where you would click, Colleges I'm applying to. 119 00:06:06.010 --> 00:06:07.970 Can y'all see, Sheri, can you see 120 00:06:07.970 --> 00:06:10.113 my cursor as I'm moving it? 121 00:06:17.421 --> 00:06:18.254 Okay. 122 00:06:19.510 --> 00:06:21.960 Sorry, did you say you can see it while I'm moving it? 123 00:06:21.960 --> 00:06:23.020 Oh, great. Okay, sorry. 124 00:06:23.020 --> 00:06:24.533 I had the pictures turned off. 125 00:06:25.770 --> 00:06:29.940 So you noticed that these same things 126 00:06:29.940 --> 00:06:33.450 are listed up here, as well, so, but anyhow. 127 00:06:33.450 --> 00:06:36.240 So you're gonna click on Colleges I'm applying to. 128 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:40.080 And once you do that, it takes you to this page. 129 00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:41.250 And I just did a cutout. 130 00:06:41.250 --> 00:06:43.930 There's actually more stuff in the white area, 131 00:06:43.930 --> 00:06:47.220 but I wanted you to pay and, sorry, I'm the worst drawer. 132 00:06:47.220 --> 00:06:50.123 That is my messy little arrow right there. 133 00:06:51.180 --> 00:06:53.500 But you click on this button. 134 00:06:53.500 --> 00:06:57.310 It's a red button with a white plus sign 135 00:06:57.310 --> 00:06:59.480 and that's your add button. 136 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.683 And so you're gonna click on that. 137 00:07:02.620 --> 00:07:04.710 And these are exactly in the directions, 138 00:07:04.710 --> 00:07:05.940 the written directions, as well. 139 00:07:05.940 --> 00:07:10.303 I just I'm a visual person so I wanted lots of this. 140 00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:13.440 And I filled this in, 141 00:07:13.440 --> 00:07:15.350 but you're going to come to your next screen. 142 00:07:15.350 --> 00:07:17.360 It says, which college are you applying to? 143 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:19.423 And I typed in The University of Alabama. 144 00:07:21.190 --> 00:07:23.670 It tells you when their priority deadline is 145 00:07:23.670 --> 00:07:25.420 for applications. 146 00:07:25.420 --> 00:07:29.090 This might be application type. 147 00:07:29.090 --> 00:07:30.840 You have a dropdown, 148 00:07:30.840 --> 00:07:34.470 but this is, you know, their deadline to apply. 149 00:07:34.470 --> 00:07:38.850 And there's a question here, I'll submit my application. 150 00:07:38.850 --> 00:07:41.720 Now, there are a few choices here, 151 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:43.993 depending on your college. 152 00:07:44.970 --> 00:07:45.930 There is something, 153 00:07:45.930 --> 00:07:48.460 if you guys were in our other talks 154 00:07:48.460 --> 00:07:51.070 about The Common Application, 155 00:07:51.070 --> 00:07:53.100 and there's some other ones too, 156 00:07:53.100 --> 00:07:56.030 but if this was UAB, 157 00:07:56.030 --> 00:07:59.060 UAB you can apply directly to the institution. 158 00:07:59.060 --> 00:08:00.490 And that means you're using 159 00:08:00.490 --> 00:08:04.550 the college's own online application 160 00:08:05.580 --> 00:08:08.800 or you could do Common App. 161 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:12.660 But you have to dictate which of those you're using. 162 00:08:12.660 --> 00:08:15.760 So University of Alabama does not have The Common App. 163 00:08:15.760 --> 00:08:19.550 They don't accept it so there's no other option there. 164 00:08:19.550 --> 00:08:21.890 But some schools will. 165 00:08:21.890 --> 00:08:24.740 I want to say this, just so you know, 166 00:08:24.740 --> 00:08:27.940 if you're applying to five schools 167 00:08:27.940 --> 00:08:31.870 and only one or two or I'd say even all five, 168 00:08:31.870 --> 00:08:35.780 if they're state schools like UAB, 169 00:08:35.780 --> 00:08:39.010 Mississippi State, whoever else, 170 00:08:39.010 --> 00:08:41.700 those applications are only going to take you 171 00:08:41.700 --> 00:08:45.160 about 10 minutes to do and to complete. 172 00:08:45.160 --> 00:08:48.070 Whereas The Common App is going to take you roughly, 173 00:08:48.070 --> 00:08:50.820 I'd say on average an hour and a half. 174 00:08:50.820 --> 00:08:53.180 None of those schools, like the UABs, 175 00:08:53.180 --> 00:08:55.530 the Alabama's of the world, the state schools, 176 00:08:55.530 --> 00:08:59.050 require recommendations or essays or any of that 177 00:08:59.050 --> 00:09:01.290 and The Common App does. 178 00:09:01.290 --> 00:09:05.070 And so, it's not because it's a better application. 179 00:09:05.070 --> 00:09:07.490 It's just the same application 180 00:09:07.490 --> 00:09:09.520 that can be sent to multiple schools. 181 00:09:09.520 --> 00:09:12.700 So just be sure you always put something here. 182 00:09:12.700 --> 00:09:14.310 If you don't answer this, 183 00:09:14.310 --> 00:09:16.370 it will come up as a question mark 184 00:09:16.370 --> 00:09:18.480 and we will not be able to send your transcript 185 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:19.323 till you fix it. 186 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:21.960 Then they want to know whether you've submitted 187 00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:23.610 your application. 188 00:09:23.610 --> 00:09:28.610 And honestly, I would always submit the application first 189 00:09:28.630 --> 00:09:31.420 and then request your transcript. 190 00:09:31.420 --> 00:09:35.900 And then you just say, add and request transcript. 191 00:09:35.900 --> 00:09:38.583 And at that point, it takes you here. 192 00:09:39.510 --> 00:09:41.440 There's this caveat up here, 193 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.090 it's telling you about all stuff. 194 00:09:44.180 --> 00:09:48.070 And at the beginning of the year, 195 00:09:48.070 --> 00:09:52.000 everyone is submitting an initial transcript. 196 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:55.380 It's the first one you've sent to that school. 197 00:09:55.380 --> 00:09:57.320 At the end of the year, 198 00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:00.910 you're going to need to request a final transcript. 199 00:10:00.910 --> 00:10:02.300 'Cause the school is gonna want to know 200 00:10:02.300 --> 00:10:04.900 where you ended up at the end of the year grade-wise 201 00:10:06.096 --> 00:10:07.570 and so you'll do that at the end. 202 00:10:07.570 --> 00:10:09.430 And it says, where are you sending transcripts? 203 00:10:09.430 --> 00:10:10.640 Now, you could add more. 204 00:10:10.640 --> 00:10:12.350 If you notice on the previous screen, 205 00:10:12.350 --> 00:10:14.423 you could say add more applications. 206 00:10:15.410 --> 00:10:16.710 I just did one. 207 00:10:16.710 --> 00:10:18.920 And then you request and finish. 208 00:10:18.920 --> 00:10:20.740 You don't have to do this at one time. 209 00:10:20.740 --> 00:10:24.840 Let's say you apply to University of Alabama 210 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:27.170 and then next week you do UAB, 211 00:10:27.170 --> 00:10:30.590 you can add as many schools into this list 212 00:10:30.590 --> 00:10:32.350 as you would like. 213 00:10:32.350 --> 00:10:35.090 And then you hit request and finish. 214 00:10:35.090 --> 00:10:39.070 Well at that point, sorry, at that point, 215 00:10:39.070 --> 00:10:43.430 once you hit request and finish, it goes into a list. 216 00:10:43.430 --> 00:10:45.560 The registrars at your school 217 00:10:45.560 --> 00:10:48.280 are the people who are setting, 218 00:10:48.280 --> 00:10:50.860 I'm sorry, sending these transcripts. 219 00:10:50.860 --> 00:10:54.940 And they check that list about once or twice a week. 220 00:10:54.940 --> 00:10:58.480 And so once you do that, it'll say, let's say me, 221 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.320 Nancy Wolfe requested a transcript 222 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:03.093 for University of Alabama. 223 00:11:05.451 --> 00:11:06.900 And then as the registrar, 224 00:11:06.900 --> 00:11:09.580 I would upload your transcript, push send. 225 00:11:09.580 --> 00:11:12.410 Now, I'm sure you know this, 226 00:11:12.410 --> 00:11:14.600 but just because you push send 227 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:17.320 it doesn't automatically send at that moment. 228 00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:20.290 I mean it does, but your transcript's hanging out 229 00:11:20.290 --> 00:11:22.360 I guess in the cloud or whatever 230 00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:26.390 until your particular school virtually reaches out 231 00:11:26.390 --> 00:11:29.150 and grabs it and adds it to your file. 232 00:11:29.150 --> 00:11:32.370 So just 'cause I send it it doesn't mean that transcript 233 00:11:32.370 --> 00:11:35.100 is in somebody's hands in two seconds. 234 00:11:35.100 --> 00:11:38.553 It's sitting there till the college goes out and gets it. 235 00:11:39.565 --> 00:11:41.820 So, okay just wanted to say that. 236 00:11:41.820 --> 00:11:42.940 And that is the bulk. 237 00:11:42.940 --> 00:11:46.193 But I want to point out a few more things for you guys. 238 00:11:47.590 --> 00:11:51.390 So there is something called About Me 239 00:11:52.350 --> 00:11:54.860 and it's under My Stuff. 240 00:11:54.860 --> 00:11:58.280 I mean, I'm sorry, My Stuff and it's About Me. 241 00:11:58.280 --> 00:11:59.700 The thing with this, 242 00:11:59.700 --> 00:12:01.940 and I didn't go into specific 243 00:12:04.400 --> 00:12:07.530 pictures with this or screenshots, 244 00:12:07.530 --> 00:12:12.530 but under My Surveys there's so much stuff under here. 245 00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:17.420 There's a senior questionnaire under My Surveys 246 00:12:17.420 --> 00:12:21.220 that's active for some of the schools that you can use 247 00:12:21.220 --> 00:12:23.853 in order to give your senior counselor. 248 00:12:24.820 --> 00:12:27.500 They're gonna ask for some type of information about you 249 00:12:27.500 --> 00:12:29.267 to help them write recommendations 250 00:12:29.267 --> 00:12:31.960 and you could use this for your teachers too. 251 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:33.690 So that would be a great tool. 252 00:12:33.690 --> 00:12:37.710 I want to show you the resume function here. 253 00:12:37.710 --> 00:12:39.757 This is so easy 254 00:12:39.757 --> 00:12:42.260 and you don't have to use this resume layout. 255 00:12:42.260 --> 00:12:44.810 I don't care, but it is really easy. 256 00:12:44.810 --> 00:12:47.297 I mean it literally prompts you and you type in your stuff 257 00:12:47.297 --> 00:12:50.210 and it automatically sets it up for you. 258 00:12:50.210 --> 00:12:53.790 I would definitely take time to do those two things 259 00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:56.920 just to have them. 260 00:12:56.920 --> 00:12:58.540 And if you don't use them, that's fine. 261 00:12:58.540 --> 00:12:59.373 But I would do that 262 00:12:59.373 --> 00:13:03.340 because if you ask the teacher for a recommendation, 263 00:13:03.340 --> 00:13:04.780 they're going to want a resume. 264 00:13:04.780 --> 00:13:07.160 But you know you just don't want your teachers 265 00:13:07.160 --> 00:13:12.160 to re-explain your resume 'cause that's really boring. 266 00:13:13.060 --> 00:13:15.150 Your teachers need to write personally 267 00:13:15.150 --> 00:13:16.600 about their interactions with you 268 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:18.380 and how you are as a person. 269 00:13:18.380 --> 00:13:22.370 And this survey, the HCS Senior Data Packet, 270 00:13:22.370 --> 00:13:24.363 would help them do that. 271 00:13:25.620 --> 00:13:28.000 Okay, now careers. 272 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:30.883 Sheri and I get a lot of information about, 273 00:13:32.040 --> 00:13:33.010 I want to go to college 274 00:13:33.010 --> 00:13:35.140 but I have no idea of what I want to do. 275 00:13:35.140 --> 00:13:38.560 Again, this is on your homepage across the top. 276 00:13:38.560 --> 00:13:43.560 So under Careers you have all of these dropdown menus. 277 00:13:43.940 --> 00:13:47.000 There are ways to explore. 278 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:50.060 There are all these like assessments that you can do. 279 00:13:50.060 --> 00:13:53.330 I mean, they're not gonna say, oh, you should become 280 00:13:53.330 --> 00:13:56.280 a high school counselor necessarily, 281 00:13:56.280 --> 00:14:00.430 but they're gonna help you whittle down your interests, 282 00:14:00.430 --> 00:14:01.940 things you might be good at, 283 00:14:01.940 --> 00:14:04.000 things that you might be interested in, 284 00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:06.670 and things that maybe you haven't thought about. 285 00:14:06.670 --> 00:14:08.540 Roadtrip Nation is really cool. 286 00:14:08.540 --> 00:14:11.510 They interviewed like thousands of people 287 00:14:11.510 --> 00:14:13.380 and thousands of jobs. 288 00:14:13.380 --> 00:14:15.500 And they're really not stupid videos. 289 00:14:15.500 --> 00:14:18.740 They're actually pretty good, so there's that. 290 00:14:18.740 --> 00:14:20.490 And again, we get a lot of questions like, 291 00:14:20.490 --> 00:14:21.940 can you help me decide what to do? 292 00:14:21.940 --> 00:14:24.280 I'm like, well, I can't help you decide. 293 00:14:24.280 --> 00:14:26.760 I can help you explore and hopefully you'll decide, 294 00:14:26.760 --> 00:14:28.743 but that's a useful tool. 295 00:14:29.980 --> 00:14:32.320 Scholarships, sorry I experimented. 296 00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:34.130 Hey, Nancy. Yes. 297 00:14:34.130 --> 00:14:36.180 I just wanna say something real quick 298 00:14:36.180 --> 00:14:38.750 since we were talking about careers. 299 00:14:38.750 --> 00:14:40.950 We are happy to talk to you about that, 300 00:14:40.950 --> 00:14:44.570 but we also have career coaches for each school. 301 00:14:44.570 --> 00:14:48.210 I'm putting their contact information in the chat box. 302 00:14:48.210 --> 00:14:50.640 But we also have a session tomorrow 303 00:14:50.640 --> 00:14:55.490 done by the career coaches to talk about careers. 304 00:14:55.490 --> 00:14:59.150 And so that's tomorrow at two. 305 00:14:59.150 --> 00:15:01.210 And so I just wanted to mention that 306 00:15:01.210 --> 00:15:02.380 while we're on the topic of careers. 307 00:15:02.380 --> 00:15:03.880 No, thank you. That's amazing. 308 00:15:03.880 --> 00:15:05.763 I didn't think about that, yeah. 309 00:15:07.420 --> 00:15:10.283 Okay, so scholarships and money. 310 00:15:11.220 --> 00:15:14.600 So there is a scholarship list 311 00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:16.420 and I'll show you what it looks like. 312 00:15:16.420 --> 00:15:21.420 But under Colleges, you have dropdown menus 313 00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:23.540 as we've been talking out. 314 00:15:23.540 --> 00:15:24.850 So colleges I'm applying to, 315 00:15:24.850 --> 00:15:26.840 that's where you also go for your transcripts, 316 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:28.780 that dropdown menu. 317 00:15:28.780 --> 00:15:31.660 Then you get scholarships and money. 318 00:15:31.660 --> 00:15:33.300 Now and I also want to point out 319 00:15:33.300 --> 00:15:34.850 something else on this page. 320 00:15:34.850 --> 00:15:37.050 There is a list that's actually going to be 321 00:15:37.050 --> 00:15:38.210 more important than ever. 322 00:15:38.210 --> 00:15:41.470 When Sheri and I are in the schools 323 00:15:41.470 --> 00:15:43.270 and you guys are all in schools, 324 00:15:43.270 --> 00:15:46.800 we actually keep hard copies of scholarships for y'all. 325 00:15:46.800 --> 00:15:48.047 So you can just come by and be like, 326 00:15:48.047 --> 00:15:50.200 "Oh, could I get the scholarship for the, 327 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:53.230 you know, Nancy Wolfe's super special kid award?" 328 00:15:53.230 --> 00:15:55.167 And we're like, "Yes, here you go." 329 00:15:56.370 --> 00:15:59.840 But we keep a list on Naviance. 330 00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:02.800 And so, especially since we're all separated 331 00:16:02.800 --> 00:16:05.633 and you're not gonna be able to get hard copies from us, 332 00:16:06.900 --> 00:16:10.697 one, you can always email us and say, 333 00:16:10.697 --> 00:16:13.140 "Oh, I've seen that scholarship. 334 00:16:13.140 --> 00:16:13.973 Where do I find it?" 335 00:16:13.973 --> 00:16:15.850 And I can be, "Oh, it'll be on Naviance." 336 00:16:15.850 --> 00:16:19.053 So on Naviance, you can download scholarships. 337 00:16:20.280 --> 00:16:23.580 You can go to the websites, download them, 338 00:16:23.580 --> 00:16:26.080 do them electronically, whatever. 339 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:28.220 I just put out a scholarship. 340 00:16:28.220 --> 00:16:32.370 It's our first, it's national, but also local. 341 00:16:32.370 --> 00:16:37.340 It's called the Elks Lodge Student of the Year Scholarship. 342 00:16:37.340 --> 00:16:38.690 And it's under national. 343 00:16:38.690 --> 00:16:40.870 So the scholarships, and I'll show you again, 344 00:16:40.870 --> 00:16:44.990 are organized by local dash, whatever national dash. 345 00:16:44.990 --> 00:16:49.990 This Elks Lodge scholarship is in the national section 346 00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:56.143 because this student of the year is a national scholarship. 347 00:16:57.070 --> 00:16:58.450 But once you apply for it, 348 00:16:58.450 --> 00:17:03.040 you are automatically enrolled in the local scholarship. 349 00:17:03.040 --> 00:17:05.800 Locally, the Elks Lodge here locally, 350 00:17:05.800 --> 00:17:06.820 and I'm not kidding y'all, 351 00:17:06.820 --> 00:17:10.750 have 42 $1,000 scholarships to give. 352 00:17:10.750 --> 00:17:11.880 42. 353 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:13.120 So that's a great one. 354 00:17:13.120 --> 00:17:16.250 And it's one of the only local ones that are open right now. 355 00:17:16.250 --> 00:17:17.920 Also, I want to show you one more thing 356 00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:20.300 and then I'm gonna go onto the scholarship thing. 357 00:17:20.300 --> 00:17:24.860 If you're not sure where you want to go to college, 358 00:17:24.860 --> 00:17:28.867 this has some great research and questions 359 00:17:31.580 --> 00:17:35.010 and it will definitely help you and find your fit. 360 00:17:35.010 --> 00:17:36.270 So that's a good tool. 361 00:17:36.270 --> 00:17:37.140 That's all I'm gonna say about, 362 00:17:37.140 --> 00:17:38.870 but it's kind of fun to play on. 363 00:17:38.870 --> 00:17:40.670 All right, so when you go into 364 00:17:40.670 --> 00:17:42.670 the Naviance scholarship list, 365 00:17:42.670 --> 00:17:44.333 this is what it looks like. 366 00:17:45.860 --> 00:17:49.420 I said this is obviously the beginning of the alphabet. 367 00:17:49.420 --> 00:17:52.980 So I called everything local dash. 368 00:17:52.980 --> 00:17:55.230 So anything that's under the local heading, 369 00:17:55.230 --> 00:17:58.430 that means it could be Huntsville, 370 00:17:58.430 --> 00:18:03.020 Madison County as a larger entity, Alabama, 371 00:18:03.020 --> 00:18:07.480 or just I even put things in the Southeast under local. 372 00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.170 Anything that's listed as national 373 00:18:10.170 --> 00:18:14.870 is like this Sheri Crigger law firm in Colorado Springs 374 00:18:14.870 --> 00:18:18.090 is offering, let's say $1000 scholarship 375 00:18:20.500 --> 00:18:22.770 for students who have been involved 376 00:18:22.770 --> 00:18:26.860 and survived a car accident or whatever. 377 00:18:26.860 --> 00:18:27.990 We get those a lot too. 378 00:18:27.990 --> 00:18:32.300 But that just means they are open nationally. 379 00:18:32.300 --> 00:18:34.450 So as you can see across the top, 380 00:18:34.450 --> 00:18:36.300 it'll tell you if there's a deadline, 381 00:18:36.300 --> 00:18:38.060 which most of them do have a deadline. 382 00:18:38.060 --> 00:18:39.893 These just didn't list them. 383 00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:42.563 What the award is. 384 00:18:43.620 --> 00:18:46.100 If it's merit-based, that means, you know, 385 00:18:46.100 --> 00:18:48.890 you've done something to earn that. 386 00:18:48.890 --> 00:18:51.210 It's usually grades, GPA, or whatever. 387 00:18:51.210 --> 00:18:54.420 If it's need-based, if there's an essay required, 388 00:18:54.420 --> 00:18:56.370 if there's service requirements. 389 00:18:56.370 --> 00:19:01.370 But you can just click on them and see a further description 390 00:19:01.590 --> 00:19:04.870 and you can find out where to fill it out on a website, 391 00:19:04.870
