NMHS TORNADO FUTURE CENTER
Scholarship Office
Students use the Tornado Future Center to search for colleges, apply for scholarships, write application essays, investigate careers,
meet with college and military representatives, and prepare for post-high school experiences. Reference materials and computers
for online search opportunities are available.ASPIRE PROGRAM
Administered by the Office of Student Access and Completion, ASPIRE (Access to Student assistance Programs In Reach of Everyone)
is Oregon's official mentoring program to help students access education and training beyond high school. Learn more at https://oregonstudentaid.gov/aspire.aspxWho may participate?
ASPIRE is for all students. It is an all-comer's program and serves the entire student body. Any student who believes they can benefit
from an ASPIRE advisor is welcomed and encouraged to participate. By being inclusive, ASPIRE ensures that all of Oregon's students
have many options for a fulfilling future beyond high school.Who is an ASPIRE advisor/mentor?
Volunteer ASPIRE advisors are assigned to work one-on-one with students, guiding them through important steps toward post-
secondary education. The ASPIRE advisor position attracts a broad spectrum of adult volunteers. Many are parents/guardians of
students at the ASPIRE school, professionals, some of whom are the first in their family to attend college, or retired community
members. Volunteers do not have to have attended college themselves to be effective ASPIRE advisors.ASPIRE at NMHS
Our goal is to help all students thoughtfully plan for life after high school. Considering the individual needs and plans of
students, students and their mentors may work on a variety of activities including: Utilizing online skills and interest assessments • Researching careers and vocational opportunities • Research post-secondary educational opportunities • Completing college applications • Applying for scholarships • Exploring financial aid options • Planning ahead and keeping track of deadlinesTypically, students meet with their mentors from 20-40 minutes once every week or two, depending upon need. Students and
mentors plan meeting times with the ASPIRE Coordinator, and all meetings are held in the NMHS Tornado Future Center. Mentors
may choose to work with one or more students as they feel comfortable, and at times which are convenient for them. Every effort is
made to match mentors with students for the most success. If you are a student who would like to participate in ASPIRE, or if you are an adult community member who would like to become anASPIRE mentor, please contact Jeri Childress, Tornado Future Center, 541-842-1243 or jeri.childress@medford.k12.or.us
