High School Librarian

High School Art Teacher, College Guidance Advisor, Yearbook Advisor, Website Administrator

Students and Parents:  If you have questions about the PSAT, ACT, or SAT, applying to college, or earning college scholarships, you may contact Mrs. Haak during her office hours of 9:45 am-2:30 pm on school days.  There are also some helpful links below on this page.

This is my eighth year at Sunnyside Christian.  Time is flying by!  I have really enjoyed getting to know the High School students and helping them plan for careers and colleges.  It is so amazing to see them get excited about life after High School and take an interest in the future.

In addition this will be my sixth year teaching Art in the Spring semester.  It has been very rewarding to provide the students with a creative outlet.  Watching my students improve at their own pace as they learn more about art is really exciting.  You never know who is going to come up with something really great, and sometimes they even surprise themselves!

Scholarships

Posted below is a link to a list current college scholarship opportunities for Seniors.  They will also be in the daily announcements when they are new.  Be sure to check back during the year as new scholarships become available. In general, more local and regional scholarships become available in the Spring.  These can be less intimidating than nationally available scholarships because you may only be competing against a few applicants.  Still, don't let that discourage you from applying for statewide or nationwide awards, since some of these scholarships from larger organizations are awarded to hundreds of individuals.

If you know of an opportunity that should be on this list, please email Mrs. Haak with information.  Also, if searching for scholarships on your own, please read the information below about spotting fake scholarship and grant scams. Thank you!

Current Scholarship Opportunities

Updated whenever new local or national scholarship applications become available. Last updated January 30, 2012.

College Scholarships Scams

Scholarships are an attractive way to help manage college costs. You won't have to repay them (like loans) or work to maintain them (like work-study). Since students and parents are so eager to find these funds, it's no wonder that families become easy targets for financial aid con artists.  -- Article by CollegeBoard.com.

How To Tell If a Scholarship is Legitimate
This article describes a few things to look for when applying for scholarships to make sure you are not tricked by a scholarship scam. The most important thing to remember is that legitimate scholarship applications should NEVER have a fee.

College Resource Links

Here are some links to informational sites about applying to college, 
finding scholarships, and ACT/SAT Testing.
 

ACT, Inc.

This is where you go to register for the ACT, which is required by some colleges.  When you sign up, you will need our school code to make sure your scores are sent to our school. The code is 481-349.  The ACT is offered at SCHS in October and April.  Other test dates may be available at nearby locations. 
     To find out if the colleges you are considering require the optional writing test, follow this link:

The Christian Connector, Inc

The Christian Connector is self-described as a "one-stop-shop" for receiving free information from Christian colleges. Completing the free information request form is like attending a huge Christian college fair without ever leaving home. The site has dozens of links to Christian colleges, as well as admissions and financial aid tips and more.  All of their information services are offered absolutely free!  U.S. students considering undergraduate Christian colleges can also take advantage of their free Christian College Scholarship Resource Program.

The College Board (SAT)

This site is where you register to take the SAT Reasoning test, which is required by some colleges.  When you sign up, you will need our school code to make sure your test results are sent to our school.  Our code is 481-349. In addition you can sign up to receive free practice questions by email.

FAFSA on the Web

The official website of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).  Seniors planning to attend college in the Fall should submit this form as soon as possible after January 1st of the senior year.  The application determines if you qualify for three types of financial aid:  federal grants, federal student loans, and work study.

FastWeb: Scholarships, Financial Aid and Colleges

Fastweb is self-described as:

  • The largest and most complete source of scholarships available
  • Personalized matching of scholarships to your unique profile
  • New scholarships added every day, all year long
  • College profiles including scholarships, academics, tuition, financial aid, location and more
  • Compare schools based on what's most important to you
GoCollege

GoCollege.com is one of the oldest and most trusted resources to guide students on how to finance and succeed in college. For easier navigation of the site, the materials are divided into four major categories that most students experience when getting into college:

  • Financial Aid
  • Admissions
  • Education Options
  • College Survival
Pacific Northwest Scholarship Guide

The Scholarship Guide Online is a personal, step-by-step tool, designed for you. Unlike most other scholarship searches on the Internet, this Guide is free, requires no personal profile for use and provides you access to 100 percent of the scholarship data. It is maintained by the nonprofit College Planning Network, serving students of the Pacific Northwest.

Washington Workforce Training Resources

This site contains information about career options in the state of Washington.  It has many resources and can be difficult to navigate, however some of the information is quite valuable, for example, a list of the careers most in demand by employers in Washington State.
