Additional Notes from the scholarship provider:

• Applications housed in an online process will open January 13 and close February 28 at 4:00 p.m.

• Students can create an account prior to the start of the cycle (processes will not appear until January 13)

• Scholarships outside of the software may follow a different timeline or procedure

• A few scholarships still exist “on paper” and those opportunities will use paper for all elements

• Transcripts need to have first semester grades included (the mid-January start is to support this item)

• Applicants can upload their transcript OR send a request for you to upload on their behalf

• Applicants will upload their own letters of recommendation

• Counselors will receive weekly status updates starting February 5 (final reminder Feb 26)

• Applicants will receive a similar update starting February 7 (final reminder Feb 27)

• All seniors will start with the Universal Application.  This eliminates “shopping” for individual opportunities.  Once submitted, applicants will be matched with the named opportunities they qualify to pursue.  They will fully submit individually named applications by providing any supplemental responses (specific essay prompt, financial information, etc.).

• The applicant dashboard is truly a student’s home base.  Application status and any decision information/follow-ups will exist there.  Additionally, reminding students to check email will be helpful during this process as it is the primary method of correspondence.  (I can see engagement/open stats from my admin view!).
