It is the January roll out of a useful brochure for current and prospective students. We are showcasing it in this blog. I believe international students will avail themselves of the information and be adequately prepared for all forms of educational planning vis-a-vis studying overseas.
Ta Da! The Toolkit!

FAFSA
Off to a rollicking start, the site is now functioning. I have completed a few and wondered why this upgraded form took so long to present to families? Rest assured US citizens and green card holders, try to complete by the end of January.
And if you are unfamiliar with terms, read the Versan toolkit, all the financial aid terminology are outlined.
CLASSES
All classes resume this week.
See you next week!

Happy New Year, Sandra!
As we approach our final application deadline, we wanted to reach out to recognize and appreciate the hard work that you continue to pour into your students applications, providing important context through letters of recommendation and thoughtful evaluative responses. Although our deadline is coming up, we know that you'll still be putting in work for this class all the way through the end of the academic year. Thank you, and best of luck as you enter the home stretch of college application season!

ED 2 and RD deadline: Monday, January 15, 2024It's shaping up to be a competitive class!
With Denison's Early Decision 2 and Regular Decision deadline coming up on Monday, January 15, please remind any of your students that are applying for admission that the admission application (Common Application or Coalition Application) and, if applying for financial aid, the FAFSA, CSS Profile, and Earning Statements and Federal Tax Statements are required to be considered. We always send admission, merit-based scholarship, and need-based financial aid decisions at the same time. Please note that although the U.S. Department of Education released the new Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form on December 30, 2023, their site is experiencing intermittent outages and issues with submission.
We will again be using Slate.org to make the process easier for you to manage. This tool offers a free, secure counselor portal, for you and your colleagues to view information about your students' applications — including missing items — and to eventually see official admission decisions after your students have received them. If you've already signed up with Slate.org, you are set — if not, you can sign up below. Denison uses Slate.org for the following:
Sharing application statuses with counselors
Sharing application material checklists with counselors
Allowing counselors to upload missing application materials
Sharing official admission decisions directly with counselors (after students receive them and only if students permit the sharing)

Opportunities to engage across the arts
Music Audition Program Day, Summer TUTTI Performing Arts Camp, and Reynolds Young Writers Workshop
Whether you are working with a current junior in search of summer art opportunities or a gifted senior hoping to secure an art scholarship, Denison should be part of the conversation. Students can receive a renewable award of $5,000 to $15,000, regardless of whether they decide to major in an art-based major. Students who would like to be considered for an art scholarship should submit an arts supplement through their Denison applicant portal to be reviewed for scholarship consideration. For students specifically interested in auditioning for an art scholarship in music, we will be hosting a Music Audition Program Day on Saturday, January 20 — we encourage your interested students to register!
For your returning students looking to engage in the performing arts in a major way this summer, we suggest that they consider Summer TUTTI, Denison's performing arts camp. The innovative 8-day performing arts camp is tailored to high school students who are passionate about dance, music, musical theatre, and theatre. The immersive residential program will give high schoolers a taste of life at a college focused on providing performing arts training on par with top conservatories alongside a life-shaping liberal arts education. The long-standing Reynolds Young Writers Workshop at Denison is an exceptional opportunity for aspiring creative writers looking to work one-on-one with writers. The Reynolds Young Writers Workshop is limited to rising juniors and seniors, and registration opens later this month.
