Yearbook Ads for seniors
Parents of Seniors,
You have the opportunity to purchase an ad recognizing your senior in the 2016 yearbook. It's a great way to show your senior how proud you are. Ads must be purchased online. To place an ad, click on the link ( https://yearbookforever.com/#school/19150/2016) and follow the prompts to either design your own ad or upload an existing ad (one you placed in a sports program, for example). The senior ad prices are low, and the design and purchasing process is simple and quick. The deadline for placing a senior ad is March 18. If you have any questions, contact Mr. Tuley at ctuley@scecina.org or 356-6377 Ext. 1007.

Scholarship opportunities
Unlike loans, grants and scholarships do not have to be paid back. Many colleges offer academic scholarships that your student can earn just by meeting minimum requirements. Ask universities about the scholarships they offer so your student can make sure they are on the right track. Check out the different academic scholarships offered at Marian University here.
