Attention Juniors:
We are planning to administer the PSAT (practice SAT) at school on Thursday, October 23. College bound students may take this test so they can have the experience of a national standardized test in a familiar setting. Students who score in the top 1% in the nation on this test may also earn scholarships, such as the National Merit Scholarship.  
Students who wish to take part in the test need to sign up by Friday, September 19. The first week of October, more information about the test will be shared with those who have signed up.

The link to register for the PSAT is in your Class of 2027 Google Classroom.

Miami of Ohio University Bridges Program
Miami University is proud to present the Bridges Program, which was founded 40 years ago by Black students who sought to make a Miami degree more accessible to students and ensure that their experiences here would be rewarding. The Bridges Program is an engaging experience that offers a unique insight into Miami University for prospective first-generation students or those with demonstrated financial need, enabling them to interact with our current students, faculty, and staff.

Scholarship Information
Students who complete the Bridges Program, apply to Miami University, are accepted, and enroll on the Oxford campus for fall 2026 will be eligible to receive the Bridges Program scholarship. Last year, Bridges scholarship values ranged from $2,500 to $5,000 annually. Students can "stack" this scholarship with other Miami awards, allowing for the use of multiple scholarships to cover student expenses. In fact, most Bridges participants receive multiple awards, for total values ranging from half to full tuition.

The 2025 Bridges Program application is now open. The application deadline is September 26. Learn more about the program and the application process during the Bridges 101 information session on September 10. Please see Ms. Talley if you have any questions.
