Did you know that the PSAT really does count! The Preliminary SAT(PSAT), if taken during a student's junior year, counts plenty toward college and scholarship opportunities. It is the qualifying test for several scholarships and programs. Although the National Merit Scholarship is the most widely known, there are others including the National Achievement Scholarship Program (for African American students) and the National Hispanic Recognition Program for students who identify themselves as at least 1/4 Latino orHispanic. For more information on each of these, click on the links.
So juniors, take the PSAT! Deadline is Wednesday, Sept. 23 at lunch. It will cost you a fee, but if you are on free lunch, see Mrs. Schilit for a fee waiver. Take your fee to Mr. Eberlin and sign up with Mrs. Todd in guidance.
One last advantage of taking the PSAT, it allows you to use the College Board's My College QuickStart Program. That program can help you set up a personalized SAT prep program, search for colleges, look at timelines, etc.
Sign up today for the PSAT!
