Scholarship Tips
1. Begin your search early, and conduct as much research as you can. Apply for every scholarship for which you are eligible.
2. Meet all deadlines.
3. Follow directions. Provide everything that is requested, but no more than is required.
4. List all activities and honors, highlighting those that are relevant to the scholarship.
5. Neatness counts. Type your application.
6. Make a photocopy of the application before you begin. If you make a mistake, you can start fresh with a clean copy. Also make a copy of the completed application, so you can resend it if the original is lost.
7. Ask for help if you need it. Don't hesitate to call the funding organization.
8. Write an essay that makes a strong impression. Tell a story and use personal examples.
9. Choose references who know you well and give them plenty of time to write a recommendation.
10. Give your application (and/or essay) a "once-over." Ask a friend, teacher, or parent to proofread
