💡 Students, it's very important to read emails/letters from the college you intend to enroll. Make sure to thoroughly read admittance letters/packets and set up your student account and college email. Colleges will start to communicate to you via your college email and send important info about your financial aid package, additional needed documents, orientation, etc. Every college is different but a majority will need you to set up your student account and email so they can securely send you updates.

🚩 SLCC additional Info 🚩

• Explore SLCC virtual workshop | Tuesday, March 2, 2021 (5:00 PM - 6:30 PM)

This is an annual admissions event for the community and prospective students to learn about academic programs, meet faculty, and explore opportunities at Salt Lake Community College. To rsvp go to tinyurl.com/exploreslcc. I’ve also attached a flyer with the event info.

• SelectHealth Latinx Scholarship | Deadline: March 15, 2021

The SelectHealth Scholarship is a two-year full scholarship for freshman Hispanic and Latinx students at SLCC who are interested in a career in healthcare. SelectHealth also invests in student's personal and professional growth.

💸 Finally, if you still need help with FAFSA I'm happy to set up a time where we can meet in-person or virtually.

Distance Learners - I know this year has been really tough and you are almost at the finish line. Please feel free to reach out to me if you still need help with college applications, FAFSA, scholarship info, resources for undocumented students, or college exploration. While deadlines can be overwhelming, it's still not too late to apply to some colleges. If you would like to explore alternative routes/timelines or take a gap year and go back to school when you are able to that's okay! Not everyone's path is linear and that is OKAY!😊

Best,

Monica Perez
