SCHOLARSHIP TIPS: 1. Apply only if you are eligible. Read all the scholarship requirements and directions carefully to make sure you're eligible before you send in your application. 2. Complete the application in full. If a question doesn't apply, note that on the application. Don't just leave a blank. Supply all additional supporting material, such as transcripts, letters of recommendation and essays. 3. Follow directions. Provide everything that's required, but don't supply things that aren't requested, you could be disqualified. 4. Neatness counts. Always type your application, or if you must print, do so neatly and legibly. Make a couple of photo copies of all the forms before you fill them out. Use the copies as working drafts as you develop your application packet. 5. Write an essay that makes a strong impression. The key to writing a strong essay is to be personal and specific. Include concrete details to make your experience come alive: the who, what, where, and when of your topic. The simplest experience can be monumental if you present honestly how you were affected. 6. Watch all deadlines. To help keep yourself on track, Impose your own deadline that is at least two weeks prior to the official deadline. 7. Make sure your application gets where it needs to go. Put your name (and Social Security number, if applicable) on all pages of the application. Pieces of your application may get lost unless they are clearly identified.
