Seniors and Parents,
Each month, I will pass on the list of scholarship opportunities they have created just for you. Below, you’ll find some great options with deadlines in September. This list includes a variety of scholarships—local, national, and for different fields of study—so be sure to scroll through them all!
The College and Career Access Center (CCAC) is here to support you every step of the way. They offer free, one-on-one assistance with scholarship applications, FAFSA, college applications, and more. You can schedule a time to meet with them right here at Napoleon High School (you will learn more soon) or visit our office at the Jackson Crossing.

Re: Scholarship Availability
Good morning!
Once again, the Bill & Vi Sigmund Foundation is offering your senior students up to $6,000 to attend a college or trades school. This school year, 145 scholarships were given to Jackson and Lenawee County students. Application deadline is April 15. Forms and directions are available on our website at sigmundfoundation.org.
So that you are aware of the importance you play as a high school advisor, I asked various recipients how they learned about the Sigmund Scholarship. BY AND LARGE, YOU were the important piece that introduced your students to our scholarship. Although some learned through newspaper advertisements, etc., it is your assistance that they remember! YOU are making a difference.
