check out the
SuperMatch
college search

two for the

facts, financial aid,

and student life
information links.
Scattergrams allow
you to view the
GPA and SAT/ACT
scores of those
CGHS students who
were admitted or
denied at a
particular college.
Obviously, the
names of the
students are not
listed. 
The data on this
scattergram is not
real. However, it is
an example of how
the student data
would be displayed
regarding Admitted
vs. Denied
Since this is our
first year using
Family Connection,
scattergrams will
not have relevant
data until our
current senior class
begins to receive
admission
decisions from the
colleges.
How does Family Connection help me find scholarships and financial aid?
CGHS keeps a list of
scholarships that we
have been made
aware of by local
scholarship
providers, as well as
other state and
national scholarship
opportunities.
The college
resources page
provides links to
valid financial
aid resources and
websites.
Use this link to
search for
additional
national
scholarship
opportunities
Search scholarships
by categories such as
Health Careers, CG
Scholarship
Foundation, Johnson
County Community
Foundation, etc.
Select the
scholarship for more
details including links
to the application.
