A “Before-You-Apply” Checklist
Many scholarships require you to report lots of information. Before you apply for
scholarships, have handy the following items so the process goes as quickly as possible:
A transcript – While completing applications, you may be asked to type in your grades since
you have been in high school. Having your transcript nearby will help you fill in this
information quickly. You can access your transcript by creating an account at Parchment.com
A school profile – You may need this to answer several questions about your school such as
your school code (North’s code is 173-207), as well as the number of AP, IB and Honors
classes your school provides. If needed, see Mr. Breathett for a copy of the school profile.
A list of school and non-school related clubs and organizations – Include any leadership
positions earned since freshman year plus any awards and honors that you have received.
A list of volunteer organizations – Include the number of hours served with each
organization since freshman year plus any awards and honors that you have received.
Two letters of recommendation – Many scholarships require you to submit one or two
letters of recommendation. Identify two adults in your life who can write about your
character strengths. It looks good if you have one teacher/counselor/CCC/administrator as
well as one individual from outside of school (i.e., your boss, your volunteer supervisor, your
pastor, etc.). I am happy to write recommendation letters for you, but I want to learn more
about you first. Therefore, be sure to visit me often!
Family Income – Some need-based scholarships will ask you to include information about
your family’s income. This is to help determine your “need” for certain scholarships.
Personal Statements/Essays – Often times, scholarship applications will as ask you to write
about your goals, a leadership experience you have had, and/or what has motivated you to
pursue a college degree. Spend some time typing up about 500 words for each of these
potential prompts. You’ll thank yourself later.
