Email: [email protected]

Your senior year is an exciting and busy one. Previous students have provided these survival tips:

Do not procrastinate. Be organized.

Get a two-sided folder. Place copies of the scholarships you have sent on one side of the folder. Place copies of scholarships you are working on or have not completed on the other side. 1.    Type all scholarships unless the rules say differently.2.    Answer all questions completely.3.    Keep it clean – no misspellings or other grammatical errors.4.    Submit your application ahead of time – it shows strong organizational skills. Remember, groups are not going to give you money if you turn in an imperfect or incomplete application. This is your chance to make a positive impression.

LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATIONAsk for letters of recommendation early. Allow at least two weeks to work on a

good letter.Ask politely. Give a copy of your resume and the name of the scholarship. It also

helps if you tell the letter writer specifics about the letter i.e. it needs to emphasize your leadership skills.

THANK YOU NOTESIf you are awarded a scholarship, you MUST send the organization a thank you

note. This begins the communication process between you and the organization.

If you have kept copies of your application, you will want to reread the rules. Some scholarships are renewable meaning you may receive scholarship monies for more than one year. Some have specific grade point average rules to maintain. Most won’t be paid until you have successfully completed a full semester of college. Likewise, you may be asked to submit your transcript at the end of the first semester in college. *Some deadlines and essay topics may change as new applications are released throughout this year.
