2022 CARTER SCHOLARSHIP GUIDE.pdfApply Early
Strictly observe deadlines and make sure to submit applications early. Be honest: it's important to be truthful about grades, experiences, memberships, qualifications, family finances, and other information.
Be Selective
Only apply if you meet the scholarship's minimum requirements.
Seek Advice
Talk to other students who have already won scholarships or a teacher to help you with the scholarship process.
Follow Instructions
If the application asks for a 500 word essay, do not exceed the limit. When submitting the application, only include the requested items.
Proofread Your Application
Review everything. Sloppy grammar and typos are a sure way to be dropped from further consideration from a scholarship. Consider asking a parent, teacher, or friend to read through your application. Keep in mind that spell checkers are great; however, they only verify words that are spelled correctly. So, don't let this happen to you: "I ran the spell check on may essay, so I no everything is find."
