What to take in high School     As a prospective physics student you should take as much science and mathematics as possible during your high school years.  Especially important are physics, chemistry, geometry, trigonometry, and advanced algebra.  The usual sequence of physics courses require entering freshmen to be able to begin studying calculus and analytic geometry in the first year, but there is a little time during the first semester to clear up deficiencies.     Good writing skills are extremely important as well as courses in the arts, humanities and social sciences.  They will help prepare you for a successful college experience. Scholarships and Work-Study can help pay the bills     Physics students may apply for a number of scholarships which are available to CSU - Pueblo students in any major area of study.  President's scholarships are available to entering freshmen, continuing students and transfer students. The LaMotte Scholarship will soon be available for students majoring in physics.     You can get practical physics experience and get paid, too, if you qualify for the University's work-study program.  Some students tutor or set up labs.  Others repair equipment or help out during lab time.
