SCHOLARSHIP
TIPS:
1. Apply only if you are eligible.
Read all the scholarship requirements and directions carefully to make
sure you're eligible before you send in your application.
2. Complete the application in full.
If a question doesn't apply, note that on the application. Don't just
leave a blank. Supply all additional supporting material, such as
transcripts, letters of recommendation and essays.
3. Follow directions.
Provide everything that's required, but don't supply things that aren't
requested, you could be disqualified.
4. Neatness counts.
Always type your application, or if you must print, do so neatly and
legibly. Make a couple of photo copies of all the forms before you fill
them out. Use the copies as working drafts as you develop your
application packet.
5. Write an essay that makes a strong
impression. The key to
writing a strong essay is to be personal and specific. Include concrete
details to make your experience come alive: the who, what, where, and
when of your topic. The simplest experience can be monumental if you
present honestly how you were affected.
6. Watch all deadlines.
To help keep yourself on track, Impose your own deadline that is at
least two weeks prior to the official deadline.
7. Make sure your application gets
where it needs to go. Put
your name (and Social Security number, if applicable) on all pages of
the application. Pieces of your application may get lost unless they are
clearly identified.
