ScholarTrack Labs
Let us help you help more students! We are happy to come in to lead or support a 21^st Century Scholar initiative at your school during a time that works for you. This could include creating ScholarTrack accounts for students and/or helping students complete the required program steps for their grade level. With advance notice, we can also invite additional community partners and current college 21^st Century Scholars to provide hands-on assistance to students. Email us today at 21stCentury@cfsjc.org to get started!

Or use our curated ScholarTrack lab materials to host your own event.

Completing the Scholar Success Steps
See a selection of resources for supporting each grade level below. Students can always make up missed steps from previous years!

Seniors

Eligibility for the scholarship is determined after a student’s graduation, making senior year SO important. Help students stay on track by asking… Did the student:

• finish with 2.5 GPA or higher, and a Core40 diploma?
• file the FAFSA by April 15?
• complete the 12 Scholar Success Steps in ScholarTrack by June 30?
• meet the financial testing for their graduating class? See Class of 2026-2028 here.

If missing one or more of these requirements, does the student have a case to make an appeal?
