Application Procedures

Application Deadline February 27, 2025

Aspen High School coordinates almost all of the local scholarships into one general online application process for students. The exceptions are the Aspen Board of Realtors Scholarship and the Aspen Community Foundation Scholarships (which have an earlier deadline and separate application process) and Trashmaster’s (which has a later deadline and separate paper or online application).

1. The AHS “General Application” and required attachments: Local scholarship groups/donors use SmarterSelect an online portal to receive applicant information. Therefore, the first step in your application process will be to set up a SmarterSelect account and submit the “General Application” including answering all of the questions in the application and uploading an essay or personal statement, transcript, resume or Common App activity sheet, and two letters of recommendation. If you will be using an AHS teacher or counselor recommendation, please indicate their names in the online application and those letters will be uploaded from Scoir to your SmarterSelect application after your application has been submitted. A FAFSA Submission Summary is a required upload for students applying for financial need-based scholarships.

2. “Specific Scholarship Applications”: After you have submitted the “General Application”, decide the local scholarships for which you will apply. Links to all of the specific scholarships are listed below. To apply to each individual scholarship you will need to click on its “Specific Application” link. It is through the “Specific Applications” that you may be asked to answer additional questions and/ or provide a supplemental essay.

3. “Spring Update”: Scholarship donors are very interested in where you will be attending college and what type of financial aid package that school is offering. Applicants are asked to submit a supplemental application including additional financial information and matriculation decisions. A link to the Spring Application Update will be provided to all submitted applicants.
