A senior fact sheet can be a very valuable resource to have when seniors apply for colleges, scholarships, financial aid and employment. Similar to a resume, the fact sheet contains a great deal of important information about a senior’s activities, awards, and education.

Start preparing your fact sheet right away. As the senior year progresses, be sure to review it periodically and update it with any new information.

A typical senior fact sheet includes:

• Name
• Address
• Phone number
• Date of birth
• Social security number
• Student number at school
• GPA
• Class rank
• High school(s) attended
• ACT/SAT test scores
• Counselor’s name and phone number
• Extra-curricular activities
• Community/volunteer activities
• Personal history
• Travel
• Awards/honors
• Jobs held
• Career aspirations
• Special projects
