College Activities at Rosemont!


Our representatives from Sacramento City College are on campus the third Tuesday of each month during lunch. Students who are juniors and/or seniors and have a 2.7 GPA can take classes at community college while they are in high school. They earn college credits, as well as high school credits. Students can take any course for which there are no prerequisites, or any course that they meet the prerequisites. Students may enroll in 6 college units per semester. Interested students can meet with their counselor to obtain the paperwork!

 

Scholarships

Students can register at the following websites for current scholarship opportunities.  During the academic year,  applications to various scholarships are available in the College/Career Center.  New scholarship opportunities are received each week – check in frequently.

In addition to a host of scholarship opportunities online, the Career Center maintains a file of current scholarship applications for students’ use.  Most scholarships are awarded only to graduating seniors, but there are exceptions, which are specifically stated on the application.  For more information, see your counselor before school, at lunch time, or after school.  You can also put a request form in the counselor’s confidential box (outside their offices) to pursue more information.  Two leading resources for scholarship information are:
www.fastweb.net
www.collegeboard.com
Be advised:  Any legitimate scholarship will not request money or credit card information.  Be cautious of fraudulent scholarship advertisements.

California Hall of Fame
Dreamers Challenge
Win $5,000 Scholarship
Submissions Now Accepted

What Would You Do to Change the World?
The California Museum, home of the California Hall of Fame has partnered with Comcast and the California State Fair to present a challenge to high school seniors: Tell us how your dream will leave a lasting mark on the state, nation and the world. The scholarship challenge is inspired by the California Hall of Fame, an honor and an institution which serves to inspire visitors by exhibiting the amazing stories of trailblazers, leaders and legends who have called California home.

Unlike other scholarship contests, the California Dreamers Challenge hopes to provide opportunities for future Walt Disneys, John Steinbecks and Rita Morenos by opening up entries to submissions beyond the standard essay. The California Hall of Fame inductees became legends for thinking outside the box, and so The California Museum challenges high school seniors to produce
a video, music, artwork, or an essay that can be submitted digitally on CD or DVD, that will display the creative abilities of each individual.

One grand prize winner will be selected for a $5,000 cash scholarship, airfare and accommodations for student and one adult to Sacramento to accept award at the 9am California Hall of Fame preview event on December 15, 2008. They will also get VIP
placement during the red carpet event before the official ceremony that evening.

"So think for a moment what you would have to do to stand out in a state of 37 million people. You'd have to go out and do what your heart and mind ordered you to do."
-- Maria Shriver
The California Museum, 2006 California Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony

NCAA Eligibility

PLANNING ON PLAYING SPORTS IN COLLEGE???????
NCAA Eligibility

To play sports as a freshman at a college or university in NCAA Division I and II, students must meet specific standards.  Students must graduate from high school and make at least a 2.00 grade-point average (based on a 4.00 scale) in 14 academic courses.

Important Information About Division I and Division II Initial-Eligibility Changes
The Division I and Division II initial-eligibility requirements have changed.

WHAT IS THE NEW RULE?  The new requirements increase the number of required core courses from 13 to 14.  The additional course may come from any of the following areas:  English, mathematics, natural/physical science, social science, foreign language, non-doctrinal religion or philosophy.  Please see the important notice below about the elimination of computer science.

For the classes of 2005, 2006 and 2007: Division I and Division II

If you plan to enter college in 2005 or after, your eligibility will be determined under the new rule.  That means that you must have 14 core courses to be eligible to practice, play and receive financial aid at a Division I or Division II school.
For the class of 2008: Division I only -- 16 core courses
If you plan to enter college in 2008 or after, you will need to present 16 core courses in the following breakdown:

  • 4 years of English                   
  • 3 years of mathematics (Algebra I or higher)                   
  • 2 years of natural/physical science (one must be a lab science)                   
  • 1 year of additional English, math or science                   
  • 2 years of social studies                   
  • 4 years of additional core courses (from any area listed above, or from foreign language, non-doctrinal religion or philosophy)

NCAA Information for home-schooled students!
Students who were home schooled for any part of high school (grades nine through 12) must now register with the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse.  The clearinghouse will determine whether they will be eligible for practice, competition and institutional financial aid at an NCAA Division I or Division II institution during their freshman year. 

The clearinghouse will perform preliminary and final certification reports for home-schooled students.  The preliminary analysis of a student's academic record will enable the student to become aware of any deficiencies in their academic record and allow the student to rectify those deficiencies prior to high-school graduation. 

It is important to note that before a preliminary certification may be performed, the clearinghouse must receive the student release form (or registration form, which may be completed via the Internet), the registration fee, a transcript with at least six semesters represented, and official test scores on the ACT and/or SAT.

After high-school graduation, once the clearinghouse receives the student's final transcript and proof of graduation, the clearinghouse will perform a final certification.  Home-schooled students should register with the clearinghouse by visiting the clearinghouse Web site at www.ncaaclearinghouse.net.  From there, click on "Prospective Student-Athletes," then "Domestic Student Release Form" and follow the prompts. 

Computer science being eliminated for core-course purposes.
Computer science courses will no longer be able to be used for initial-eligibility purposes.  This rule is effective August 1, 2005, for students first entering a collegiate institution on or after August 1, 2005.  Computer science courses (such as programming) that are taught through the mathematics or natural/physical science departments and receive either math or science credit and are on the high school's list of approved core courses as math or science may be used after the August 1, 2005, date.

Register online!

Prospective student-athletes may register with the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse on-line.  Simply go to the Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse Web site (www.ncaaclearinghouse.net).  By registering on-line, prospects will be able to view their eligibility information on-line, and will not have to call the clearinghouse for eligibility updates.  On-line registration saves time, and allows prospective student-athletes to view their eligibility status up to six weeks faster than through the paper registration process.
