 SPECIALIZED OCCUPATIONAL TRAINING

APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING

Apprenticeship is an organized system of paid training in those industrial occupations requiring a

wide and diverse range of knowledge and skills. Often the training in an apprenticeship
program is provided by the community college system. A worker entering the industry is given
continuous, supervised instruction both on and off the job in all aspects of the work required in a
skilled occupation.

To qualify, applicants must be at least 16 years of age, in good health, and have a positive attitude
toward work. Reliability, responsibility, punctuality and an ability to work with others are required.
One to two years of vocational training is helpful. Applicants must also show through aptitude
testing that they have the ability to learn specific job duties.

SAMPLE APPRENTICESHIP OCCUPATIONS

Bricklayer, Carpenter, Cook/Chef, Drywall, Electrician, Floor Layer, Glass Setter, Iron Worker
Machinist, Mason, Mechanic-Welder, Painter, Pipe Fitter, Plasterer, Plumber, Roofer, Sheet Metal
Worker, Tool & Die Maker. If a student is interested in specific apprenticeship training, he or she
should contact:
Arizona Dept. of Commerce
Apprenticeship Training Representative
1700 W. Washington St. Suite 220
Phoenix, Arizona 85007
(602) 771-1184

JOB CORPS

Job Corps is the nation’s largest and most successful job training program of it’s kind. This is a
federal program administered by the U.S. Department of Labor. Job Corps provides income-
eligible young men and women with an opportunity to gain the experience they need to begin a
career or advance to higher education. Visit www.jobcorps.dol.gov for more information.

MILITARY PROGRAMS

Campus JROTC instructors and visiting military recruiters may be contacted for current
information. Recruiters from each military branch visit HHS regularly.

Enlistment –
If you enlist, you may enter the armed forces of your choice. Training for many career fields is
available. The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is required. ASVAB
testing is available to juniors, and some selected seniors may be included. This year Hamilton High
6
School will administer the test on December 1, 2009. Seniors need to sign up in the Career Center.
Juniors will sign up through their teacher.

National Guard –
If you join a reserve unit or guard unit, you may fulfill most of your obligation while living at
home and working or attending college. Meetings are held one weekend per month plus two full
weeks of active duty training during the summer.

Reserves Offices Training Corps –

You may go to college and participate in an ROTC program. This allows you to receive financial
assistance while in college and to receive benefits after serving your active duty requirements.

ROTC Scholarships –
Each year the various military branches provide several ROTC Scholarships. These financial
assistance grants provide for the payment of tuition, books, fees, supplies, and equipment, plus a
tax-free allowance per month. These scholarships may cover freshman through senior years of
college education. Students interested in applying for ROTC scholarships need to give ROTC as
one of the addresses for mailing of their score reports when taking the SAT or ACT test.

IMPORTANT: Applications for ROTC scholarships have specific deadlines. See a military
recruiter for more information.

Military Academies
• United States Coast Guard Academy
• United States Air Force Academy
• United States Naval Academy – Annapolis
• Merchant Marine Academy
• United States Military Academy – West Point

Competition for admission to the academies is very selective and limited. Military academy
graduates receive a Bachelor of Science degree. Graduates receive regular commissions, and are
required to fulfill active duty commitments. For those students who strongly desire to attend an
academy but who are not offered an appointment upon high school graduation, military preparatory
school appointments should be considered as well. Military prep schools are available for the
Army, Navy, and Air Force Academies.

VOCATIONAL CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS

What are they?

These are Institutions that prepare students for semi-professional or technical employment.
Typically they teach job-specific skills, devoted to training for employment.

In Arizona, we have a large number of certificate programs available through the Maricopa
Community College District. To see a list and their qualifications and length of program, please
visit each Community College’s website.
NOTE: Be aware that private vocational/technical schools are “for profit”. Student tuition is the primary source of a private school’s funding. Be
sure to compare these to the community colleges in your area for their vocational certificate programs.

7
 COLLEGE ADMISSIONS
What process is necessary to be admitted to the school of your choice?

No matter which of the training or educational options you choose, there is a process you must
follow in order to be admitted to the institution. Each type of institution may differ slightly in the
admission process. It is your responsibility to know the requirements of each school in which you
have an interest. Typically, the process includes:

1. Obtaining the application form

ALL colleges prefer students to apply using their online application procedure.

2. Completing the application form which may include:

Specific Deadline Dates, Transcripts from High School, Application fee, Housing applications,
Letter of Recommendations, Essay

3. Taking required special tests for admission

NOTE: Most 4-year colleges & universities require you to submit scores from either the SAT
(Scholastic Aptitude Test) or the ACT (American College Test) for scholarship and/or class
placement purposes. Many of the more selective 4-year schools will ask you to submit scores from
the College Board Achievement Tests as well, commonly known as the SAT II.

Maricopa County Community Colleges require students to take placement tests in reading, math
and English (Asset Test, Compass Test or Accuplacer). Information regarding testing and test
dates for the coming year can be found in the Career Center or in any counseling office.

4. Mailing or completing the on-line application.

Vocational-technical schools and community colleges – the procedure for admission is normally a
simple application. State colleges and universities – admission standards are set and published.
Private colleges and universities – a more detailed process is often involved. Selective colleges and
universities – your admission status may not be known until after April 1 of the year you wish to
enter.

5. Check your application status regularly.

Most colleges will open your own web area when you apply so you can check your application
status. Make sure you read the postal mail they send after you’ve applied. It will have instructions
for checking your status.

Arizona Universities require you to send your dual enrollment transcripts from the community
college immediately after the semester you are taking the class ends. Do not wait until after high
school graduation to send in dual enrollment grades.

The ultimate responsibility for completion of this process rests with the student. Counselors are a good source
of information regarding the application process and are anxious to help. Make an appointment with your
counselor or with Mrs. Lytle in the Career Center. Local college representatives visit our school each month,
schedules are posted in the Career Corner Bulletin, Career Center and in all counseling offices.

Please note: If College application fees or SAT/ACT fees will be a financial hardship for your
family, please contact your counselor for monetary assistance.

 FINANCIAL AID

OPPORTUNITIES
FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

The purpose of this section of the booklet is to provide a starting point for students who plan to continue their
education beyond high school and who will need financial aid. There are people with knowledge of student
financial aid procedures who can be helpful to you: your high school guidance counselor, career center and
the financial aid officer at the institution you plan to attend. You must begin early and complete applications
properly and on time.

The following information on specific scholarships, loans and grants is as up-to-date as possible. There may
be changes in conditions, availability and/or contact persons. Contact your high school counselor, the Career
Center, and the financial aid officer at each institution or sponsoring agency for the most current information.

The scholarships in this booklet are organized in chronological order. The deadline dates are approximate
and could change from year to year. You should check with the scholarship organization directly for
exact dates. The availability of many scholarships changes often from year to year, after printing of this
booklet. Typically, many of the applications are received by your high school about 4 to 6 weeks before they
are due. Check in Hamilton’s Career Center for up-to date information on available scholarships.
Remember, this booklet is only a starting point; new scholarships other than those listed here come in every
year. An alphabetical listing of the scholarships is found in the back of this book.

SCHOLARSHIPS

A scholarship is a financial award based on academic, athletic, financial need or type of talent. Please keep
in mind many scholarships are awarded without regard to financial need. Colleges offer scholarships directly
to students who attend the college, many based on merit alone. Other scholarships are awarded by business,
civic, government or church groups. Scholarships have many different criteria, and the group offering the
scholarship sets the criteria.

An inquiry to the college financial aid office is the first step in investigating a scholarship offered by a
college. Interested students should carefully follow any directions provided by that office. Colleges may
offer awards to students per department, example: Business, Psychology, etc.

More effort may be required to investigate scholarships offered by other groups. A student searching for
such scholarships should expect to spend some time researching in the library or career center, writing letters
requesting information and application forms, and more time completing the forms.

All Arizona State Universities and community colleges offer institutional scholarships. For additional
information, contact the scholarship websites at each institution.

Students seeking financial aid are encouraged to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA), information is available in the career center. Arizona State Universities request this information be
completed by February 15th of the student’s senior year in high school. Community Colleges request this
information be completed by May 1st.

career center after December 1 of your senior year. The FAFSA contains all information required by the
U.S. Department of Education. Complete and mail as soon as possible after January 1. The application must
be completed on the Internet, www.fafsa.ed.gov . If this application is received PRIOR to January 1st for
the following Fall semester in college, the application will be discarded. PLEASE NOTE: MAKE
SURE YOU ARE ENTERING THE CORRECT WEBSITE – THERE IS ONE VERY CLOSE TO
THIS BUT WILL CHARGE YOU MONEY! This is a free service.
2. The FAFSA will be processed at no charge to the student. The U.S. Department of Education will make
the student’s FAFSA information available to all the institutions indicated by the student on the application.
3. Once the financial aid form is processed, the Student Aid report (SAR) is sent to the student. Check for
errors and correct. Always keep copies of ALL documents, the FAFSA and the SAR.
4. The colleges you have indicated will then mail you your financial aid notification, AS LONG as you have

5. If you checked you were interested in Student Loans or Parent Loans, the colleges may offer you loans
through their financial aid department. This is just an offer, you must still proceed with filling out the
standard loan documentation. Student loans and Parent loans are at a considerably lower interest rate through
the federal government. Here is a sample of specific loans and grants available, remember grants do not need
to be paid back:

Federal Work Study provides jobs to undergraduate and graduate students, allowing them to earn money to
pay education expenses.
Federal Stafford Loans are student loans that must be repaid and are available to both undergraduate and
graduate students. If your school participates in the Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program, the federal
government provides the funds for your Stafford Loan. If your school participates in the Federal Family
Education Loan (FFEL) Program, a private lender provides the funds for your Stafford Loan, although the
federal government guarantees the loan funds. First-year undergraduates are eligible for loans up to $3,500.
Amounts increase for subsequent years of study, with higher amounts for graduate students. The interest rate
is variable, but never exceeds 8.25 percent. If you qualify (based on need) for a subsidized Stafford loan, the
government will pay the interest on your loan while you are in school, during grace periods, and during any
deferment periods. You are responsible for paying all of the interest that accrues on an unsubsidized
Stafford Loan.
Federal Pell Grants are available to undergraduate students only. Grants do not have to be repaid.
Federal PLUS Loans are unsubsidized loans made to parents. If you are independent or your parents cannot
get a PLUS loan, you are eligible to borrow additional Stafford Loan funds. The interest rate is variable, but
never exceeds 9 percent.
Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG) is available for first academic year undergraduate students – up
to $750. Second year students – up to $1,300.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants are grants available for undergraduates only;
awards range from $100-$4,000.
Perkins Loans are low-interest (5 percent) loans that must be repaid; the maximum annual loan amount is
$4,000 for undergraduate students and $6,000 for graduate students.
