Some scholarships may require students to submit an official copy of their high school transcript or letters of recommendation with their application.
Depending on the scholarship requirements, letters of recommendation may come from school staff or personal contacts. It is the school’s policy that ALL letters of recommendation will be provided confidentially. Like letters required for college applications, it is suggested that students waive their rights to see their recommendations for scholarships. This policy protects our students by ensuring the validity of each letter.
IMPORTANT: The Counseling Office is closed when school is not in session. Plan accordingly.
Tips for Submitting Scholarship Applications and Documents
Like transcript requests for college applications, Transcript Requests for scholarships should be submitted online to the Counselor's Office at least 10 days before the scholarship deadline. This is especially important for scholarship applications that may require our office to mail (by USPS) paper documentation instead of submitting it electronically via e-mail, facsimile, or website upload.
Provide ALL information with your transcript request including:
the name of the scholarship
the deadline for receipt of all documents (or postmark date deadline)
address documents need to be sent to
instructions for letters of recommendation
Paper copies of official transcripts will only be given to students in sealed envelopes which are stamped as “official”. Do not open the envelope or the document will no longer be considered official.
Provide at least two weeks notice to your recommenders so they have time to write a thorough letter on your behalf. If the scholarship does not require a letter of recommendation, do not ask for one.
