Final Transcripts & Applying for HOPE/Zell Miller

Seniors - Don't forget... colleges require a final transcript as proof of graduation!

How do I request one?

• Add your final transcript request in Naviance
• Come to the Counseling Office and add your request to your transcript request card.  (Fee:  $2 per transcript). 
• Turn card in to our clerk.  Do NOT file card back in the box!  Doing so will result in your transcript not being sent

 

Remember, you must apply for HOPE/Zell Miller!  It is not automatically granted.

• Apply by completing the FAFSA
• We also must have your social security number in the system, otherwise the college will not receive your HOPE funds
• For more info about HOPE/Zell Miller Grant and Scholarship, please visit www.gafutures.org
