Scholarships

What does a typical scholarship application request?

This is not an exhaustive list as many are simple information intake forms but you can be prepared by having the following:

• request an official high school transcript from the guidance office,

• request at least 2 letters of recommendation from your school counselor, teacher(s), or recent employer (Note: any letters of recommendation from your counselor must be submitted through the guidance office),

• create a resume (here's an example and free templates),

• include a letter of acceptance from your top college choice,

• include your Student Aid Report from FAFSA,

• and draft up essays well in advance to avoid missing deadlines.
