If you have not submitted your scholarship information to the counseling office, please do so immediately. Right now, the total amount of scholarship information we've received for the class of 2023 is too low to even announce! People know Chamblee students are #1, and we know our students have way more scholarship offers than what's being reported, so please, turn it in.

Submit copies of your scholarship offers/emails to Ms. Huffman in the counseling office by May 18, 2023. 

You can email a copy of your letter to Ms. Huffman at sheila_huffman@dekalbschoolsga.org or drop off a hard copy to her in the counseling office. We want to know about every scholarship offered, even if you didn't accept it or won't use it.  Just indicate if you accepted the scholarship or declined it.  

NOTE: You do not have to include the HOPE or Zell Miller scholarship information.
