Dear Panther Parents/Guardians and Seniors--
We want to make sure your student doesn’t miss out on valuable scholarship opportunities that can help fund their post-secondary education or training. Scholarships are free money that does not need to be repaid—an incredible resource for your family!
I will be emailing scholarship opportunities on a regular basis, so please encourage your student to check their email frequently and review each one to see if they are eligible.
If your student needs help understanding or applying for a scholarship, Mrs. Tyler and Mrs. Dawson in the main office are available to assist them.
📌 Important notes:
Scholarships are a great way to reduce the cost of college or technical training
Each has a specific deadline, so it’s important to stay informed
We’ll also share these opportunities in the weekly high school newsletter and email them directly to families
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We’re here to support your child in pursuing their goals!

For many years, our Panthers have benefitted from the support and guidance of a dedicated MCAN College Adviser at Watervliet High School. This adviser has played a vital role in helping students navigate the FAFSA process and the college admissions journey. Thanks to this partnership, our FAFSA completion rates have averaged around 80% over the past few years—well above the state average.
Unfortunately, due to federal funding cuts this past spring, we lost our MCAN adviser. However, we are pleased to share that funding has recently been renewed, allowing us the opportunity to once again bring this shared position back to our community in collaboration with Coloma High School.
We are actively seeking qualified candidates to fill this important role. Please see the attached position description and consider sharing it with individuals who may be passionate about supporting students as they pursue their post-secondary goals.
Thank you for your continued support in helping our Panthers succeed.
