As a high school student, you will begin to take on more of the college planning work.

 

 

 Develop a student planner of courses you will need to take to graduate and be eligible for college admission. Use the High School Courses Recommended for College chart in this guide. Your student planner should also include projected SAT and ACT test dates, and identify the grade point average you will need to meet current admission requirements.
 
  You will want to attend high school open houses, meet with your high school counselor, and become familiar with all the college admissions and financial aid processes.
 
 

The Nevada Millennium Scholarship is your financial passport into Nevada colleges and universities. Request a Millennium Scholarship Program Fact Sheet from your counselor. Become familiar with eligibility requirements. You must maintain a 3.0 GPA throughout high school in order to be eligible.
 

  Attach to your planner a list of your activities, awards, community sevice, and other unique educational experiences. This will serve as the beginning of a resume that you can use when writing college and scholarship applicaitons.
 
  Coursework should include geometry, English, and foreign language.
