GRANGEVILLE — “A full ride doesn’t really mean a full ride,” Grangeville High School college and career readiness coordinator Shauyna House said.
House wants the public to understand that when students receive a “full ride” to college, it means many different things.
“Some colleges give a certain percentage off the total cost, or a deduction in tuition,” she explained. “All colleges are different, but one thing is for sure, and that’s that there will still be pliantly left for a student to pay for.”
She said students need to be sure to apply for all the scholarships they can, even if they receive what is called a “full ride.”
“A full ride could be on the academic end, but that still leaves the room and board, meals, equipment, books,” she said. “It’s still a big, sometimes overwhelming, commitment that families have to be prepared for.”
House keeps track of all the local scholarships available to students and has them listed on the school district website.
“Students should really start checking on these the summer before their senior year so they know the expectations and due dates,” she said, adding she sends out email reminders and also has a couple of meetings (including a financial aid night).
While local scholarships are often “one and done,” not renewing each year, they are still “very appreciated and helpful for all those extra needs that aren’t paid for through other scholarships and financial aid,” House said.
House feels it’s not only important for students and their parents to know there will be many extra expenses in college, but also for those offering the scholarships to know even though some students may seem to “have it all,” they have worked hard to get to where they are and will have continued educational costs that are not covered.
House is a 1989 graduate of GHS and has five children; her youngest will be a freshman at GHS this fall.
“I know what it’s like to send kids to college and need to come up with all those incidentals,” she said. “I enjoy working with the kids and helping piece the puzzles together.”
House and her husband, Micah, are involved in GHS concessions and Bulldog Boosters, and she is the HOSA and knowledge bowl advisor and will take on the yearbook in the coming school year.
“The kids are fun to work with; I really enjoy this age,” she said.
Some students are intimidated by the essay writing for scholarships, but she wants them to know once they get their initial thoughts down, it’s much easier.
“Then they can tailor those essays for various scholarships and college applications,” she said.
House invites any student with questions to contact her at the school. Any person interested in starting a scholarship can also visit with her. Call her at the school at 208-983-0580 or email houses@sd244.org.
