raise.me 9th-12th Grade Scholarship Opportunity
Dear Parents,
Through a new program called raise.me, your student can automatically earn scholarships from colleges each time he or she achieves any of the following goals in school:
-
Get an A in a course ($100 - $1,000)
-
Get a B in a course ($50 - $600)
-
Participate in a school club or sport ($25 - $250)
-
And much more
West Sioux is among the first in the country to take advantage of this opportunity, which is funded in part by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and U.S. colleges.
Here is how you can best support your student to get the most from this opportunity:
-
Ensure that your student creates an account at www.raise.me.
-
Congratulate your student for regularly adding good grades, community service, extracurricular activities, and other achievements to his or her raise.me “Portfolio” in order to earn “Micro-Scholarships” from colleges. Your student is eligible to receive scholarship money for each achievement from the start of 9th grade until midway through 12th grade.
-
Visit www.raise.me/parents for more information.
We hope using raise.me will make your student’s path to college both more fun and affordable.
If you have questions, I encourage you to contact Duane Sperle or send an email to support@raise.me. Increasing numbers of public and private colleges continue to join the raise.me program. Colleges are added on a monthly basis and you can request colleges at any time. Your student will automatically get related Micro-Scholarships from all new colleges as they become available.
Sincerely,
Duane Sperle
Wet Sioux High School
