Every student at SCLA is provided with a Naviance account. New students are informed of their account information at a guidance meeting. 

Guidance staff can reset forgotten passwords if necessary. 

Email DKock@StCroixLutheran.org to request a parent account.

Parents can see student activity but cannot edit, nor can the parent account take any survey or inventory.

Students must “match” their Naviance and Common App accounts in order for transcripts and letters of recommendation to be sent to colleges and universities that use the Common App. Watch this video for step-by-step instructions on how to match those accounts.

Students should fill out a “Letter of Recommendation Request Form,” which they can get from the Guidance Center. Students complete that form, including providing any necessary specifics to inform the teacher’s writing process. Once complete, students return the form to the Guidance Center. Students can use Naviance to track whether or not a letter has been completed. 

After submitting an application, students fill out a “Transcript Request Form” sheet. On it, students specify what, if any, letters of recommendation should be sent with the transcript. Guidance staff then sends all appropriate materials to the college(s). 

That depends on many factors, including schools’ admissions type, strength of the student’s application, requirements laid out in each school’s admissions policies, and timing. Some students hear answers very quickly, while others wait for 2 months or more. Many school websites provide a timeline for admissions decisions. 

Most of the scholarship money a student will receive comes from the school he or she chooses to attend. Typically, the college application is also the scholarship application, although some schools list additional scholarships that require separate applications. It is important that schools have students’ FAFSA information. Students can also search for private scholarships using Naviance or another scholarship database. Every SCLA senior has received information on and an invitation to Going Merry, a nationwide scholarship database service. SCLA occasionally receives scholarship information which is communicated to students using email, flyers, and/or Naviance. 

FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is an application that, when submitted, gives students and families access to all forms of federal student aid, including grants, work-study, and federal student loans. Some states and colleges use students’ FAFSA information to determine additional scholarship eligibility. Fill out the application at www.studentaid.gov

The CSS Profile is an online application used by colleges and scholarship programs to award non-federal institutional aid. If using CSS Profile, students and families are required to input detailed financial data which is then sent to colleges directly. International students are often eligible for CSS Profile.
