JHS Seniors: I just received a report from the Oklahoma City Community Foundation. Jones High School currently has no applicants for the Community Foundation Scholars Scholarship. If you plan to go to college and currently have an unweighted GPA of 3.25 to 3.79, you need to get on their website and complete the general application and then complete the supplemental application for the CFS scholarship. While there go ahead and complete the supplemental applications for any other scholarships you qualify. My motto when it comes to scholarships is that you never want to leave money sitting on the table. Take all you can get!!
