Timeline & Scholarship Tips
Senior Timeline
o Make sure you are on track for graduation and will have all the required credits completed at least a week prior to graduation!
o Decide what you will do next year and finalize plans o Verify college or trade school acceptance o Apply for student housing, if going to college; or make housing arrangements for other plans o Apply for scholarships (Meet deadlines) o Finalize FAFSA o Request final transcript be sent to your college o If you are male and 18 years old, register for the selective service o If you are 18 years old, register to vote o Apply for a summer job o Have fun and stay safe!
Scholarship Tips
1. Start searching as soon as possible. There are many scholarships available to students in 9th, 10th, and 11th grades, not just 12th grade. Continue searching for scholarships even after you are enrolled in college.
2. Answer all of the optional questions on a scholarship matching website for more options. 3. Use a free scholarship matching service like AKCIS or Fastweb.com. 4. Look for local scholarships! 5. Apply to every scholarship you are eligible for. Pursue less competitive scholarships such as
small awards and essay contests, since they are easier to win. 6. Don’t miss deadlines! Use a calendar and checklist to get organized. 7. Tailor your application to your sponsor’s goals. Read & follow instructions carefully. 8. If you have difficulty writing essays, try recording yourself as you answer the question out
loud, and afterwards write down what you said. Create an outline to organize your thoughts.
9. Personalize your essay and be passionate. Write about something of interest to you. Make your application stand out from the crowd. Talk about your impact on other people. Give examples and be specific.
10. Clean up the content of your Facebook account, removing inappropriate and immature material.
11. Proofread a printed copy of your essay and the application for spelling and grammar. 12. Make a copy of your application before sending it in. If mailing the application send it by
certified mail, return receipt requested or delivery confirmation. If scanning or emailing the application, call or email to confirm receipt of the application.

2017 National Youth Science Camp Competition Open
The 2017 National Youth Science Camp (NYSC) competition is now open to Alaskan students who will graduate by June 30, 2017. NYSC is a great opportunity for all seniors, but especially those with a dedicated interest in scientific and engineering research. It is a residential science education program that honors and challenges two graduating high school science students from each state and others from selected countries around the world. Scientists from across the nation present lectures and hands‐on science seminars and linger to interact informally with student delegates. Delegates are challenged to explore new areas in the biological and physical sciences, art, and music with resident staff members. Opportunities are provided for delegates to present seminars covering their own areas of interest and research. A visit to Washington D.C. permits delegates to visit some of the nation’s premier scientific, governmental, and cultural facilities. The NYSC experience includes overnight excursions into the Monongahela National Forest, featuring backpacking, rock‐climbing, caving, mountain biking, and kayaking opportunities. Delegates are required to participate in the camp program for its entirety, as the fast‐paced activities and remote location make travel to and from the NYSC very difficult. More information is available online at www.nysc.org. Cost: The National Youth Science Camp is offered at NO COST to its participants so that selected delegates may attend regardless of their financial status. All educational and recreational programming, as well as meals, lodging, and round‐trip air passage on scheduled airlines are provided free of charge to the delegates. How to apply: Submit your application materials online at http://apply.nysc.org. The application window is open as of November 1st, and closes at 11:59pm on March 1st. Applicants will need to submit the following documents:
1. A letter detailing your qualifications and reasons for applying (must be typed), 2. A resume detailing your academic achievements and extra‐curricular activities, 3. A recent academic transcript (including standardized test scores when possible),
4. A letter of support from a teacher or research mentor.
Delegates MUST be able to attend the entire NYSC program. Provisional dates for 2017 are June 14 through July 8. Please keep this requirement in mind when applying.

PROGRAM SUMMARY
Lectures and Interactive Seminars: Prominent speakers discuss current topics in science and other disciplines and have ample opportunity for informal interaction with students attending the NYSC. Directed Studies: Visiting and resident professionals from diverse fields of study conduct three-day, in-depth research investigations in lab and field studies. Program Areas: Visiting and resident experts lead hands-on experiences in the natural science, physical science, and computer science laboratories along with co-curricular activities in arts, music, wellness, and athletics. The surrounding million-acre Monongahela National Forest serves as a learning resource for field studies in wildlife ecology, botany, water chemistry, scientific illustration, and other areas. Delegates may also participate in activities at the nearby National Radio Astronomy Observatory and Canaan Valley Institute. Delegate Lectures and Seminars: NYSC delegates are encouraged to share their own research with their peers and with visiting and resident experts who may be specialists in that field. Delegate research topics have ranged from airplane wings based on dragonfly anatomy to DNA sequencing to antilock brakes for mountain bikes. Backcountry Adventure Program: Resident specialists and scientists lead small-group day trips and overnight excursions into the Monongahela National Forest, which foster an appreciation of nature and develop leadership and teamwork skills. These adventures may include backpacking, caving, rock-climbing, mountain biking, and kayaking. Informal Activities: Opportunities abound for students to pursue personal interests on an informal basis.

Junior Leadership Program As part of NOAA Science Camp, the Junior Leadership Program (JLP) is designed specifically for teens entering 9th–12th grades in the fall of the coming school year. The program aims to provide hands-on learning experiences in youth leadership, communication skills, team-building, and scientific research. Up to 20 teens work together with NOAA scientists and professional science educators over the course of the two-week program. The Junior Leaders participate in a variety of engaging activities that develop their skills as leaders, teachers, marine scientists, and give them unique exposure to marine-related careers. Unlike the middle school program, we ask prospective Junior Leaders to apply to the program. Because space is limited, we ask prospective participants to invest a little time into telling us why they think they would benefit from participating in the Junior Leadership Program. Applications require two adult recommendations and are due by the stated deadline. Applicants are notified of acceptance in mid-May, whereupon registration and payment are due. The Junior Leadership program is directly integrated and run concurrently with our camp programming for middle schoolers. This multi-year, multi-level program is intended to prepare its Junior Leaders to potentially return as camp staff in the future or to pursue other interests in the marine sciences. The Basics
• Who: Teens entering 9th–12th grades in the fall of the coming school year.
• Where: NOAA’s Sand Point facility on Lake Washington, 7600 Sand Point Way N.E., Seattle.
