Sample Scholarship Portfolio I'm a Star.docx
Start working on scholarships early. Go to the district website to see a list of local and national scholarships which are updated weekly.
Seniors, ask teachers, coaches, employers, etc. for letters of recommendation. These letters will be required for scholarship applications, and often employers and landlords will ask for a letter of recommendation too. Give the person you are asking a copy of your scholarship folder (see above document) so they know what activities you have been involved in. This will allow them to write a richer letter for you.
