Dear Seniors, Juniors and their Parents/Guardians,
Some of our students have received either Koplik or Adams Scholarship letters in the past weeks. These awards cover tuition at Massachusetts State Schools. Please note that the “tuition” part of cost of attendance is just a fraction of the overall cost, so the typical award is somewhere around $1,500. The two scholarships have different requirements. Please pay special attention if your student received the Koplik certificate. In order to receive the scholarship, he or she will need to demonstrate proficiency by taking an AP or SAT Subject Test exams (additional details on the back of the scholarship letter).
While doing scholarship searches with my own son, I’ve been very impressed with GoingMerry.com. It is a free service that aggregates scholarships and then emails you when a batch of scholarships are due. For example, Nick just got a notice that ten scholarships that could match his profile are due in December. I can now annoy him by constantly reminding him to submit the application.

Free Application for Federal Student Aid has been open since October 1st, and I’ve been fielding questions about it. Please make sure you choose the correct year when filling out the form. It is currently available to applicants starting in Spring 2021 and in the Fall 2021. Current seniors starting in the fall will need the 2021/2022 application. After the application is completed, you can submit it to 10 schools. Once you get the SAR back (3-5 days), you can go back to FAFSA, remove the first batch of schools and add another 10 schools.
