Utah College Application Week
We are excited to be celebrating Utah College Application Week this week! While this week is primarily for seniors, we want to get everyone excited about preparing for college and life after high school.

Activities for all scholars:

• Scavenger Hunt: Pick-up a scavenger hunt form in the front office beginning on Tuesday October 26th. Get it filled out and turned back in by Friday October 29th. Those who complete it and turn it back in will be entered to win a college hoodie of their choice!
• High School Lunchtime Activities: We will have lunchtime activities on Tuesday October 26th and Thursday October 28th during high school lunch. Come participate and you will have a chance to win some gift cards and other great prizes!
• Wear your favorite College t-shirt, hoodie and/or hat day!: All scholars and staff are invited to wear their favorite college t-shirt, hoodie and/or hat to school on Friday October 29th! Dress code pants and shoes are still required. Come and rep your favorite college!

Activities for Seniors:

• FAFSA Night: We will be hosting a FAFSA night on Tuesday October 26th from 5:00-7:00 pm in the computer lab at Paradigm. Come get help filling out your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. This can be very intimidating to do on your own, so come spend an hour or two with us and knock it out! FAFSA is required if you plan to apply for federal aid, grants, loans, or scholarships. If you would like to come, please make sure you bring the following with you:
  • Student’s social security number and driver’s license or alien registration number if you are not a U.S. citizen

• Seniors who participate in both of these activities next week will be entered to win their choice of a college hoodie!
