below.4. Supporting video or other materials (required for either application option):For actors seeking a

What you should know about scholarships
Start applying for scholarships your junior year and continue throughout your senior year and while you’re in college. Other sources for scholarships include your guidance office, the college you plan to attend, and national search sites.
How to Find ScholarshipsThousands of local, state and national scholarships are available – and you may qualify for many of them. Here are a few places to look:
ScholarshipQuest features over 2,000 Nebraska-based scholarships. After you create a profile, you’ll be matched with scholarships that fit your criteria.
Your school counselor’s office. Visit at least once a month during your senior year to check on local and national awards.
The college you plan to attend. Contact the school for a list of scholarships and application procedures.
National search sites such as College Board, Peterson’s and Good Call.
Other resources could include your coach, clubs and organizations, and your parents’ employers and civic organizations.
Most scholarships are based on academics, but others are based on community service, school involvement, or talent in art, dance, music, or athletics. Some are based on financial need as measured by the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).
Therefore, to earn scholarships, earn good grades, get involved in your school and community, and complete the FAFSA.
Follow these tips!
Organize scholarships in deadline order and set aside time each week to work on them. Focus on college-based and local scholarships. You’re more likely to earn them over large
national awards. On the application, list your activities, awards, honors classes and volunteer or paid jobs.
Track them using the Activities Resume. Earn the best possible ACT/SAT scores by taking the exams in the spring of your junior year
and again in the fall of your senior year. If an application requires a letter of recommendation, give the person writing the letter plenty
of notice, a specific deadline, and a list of your accomplishments and activities. After writing an essay, ask an English teacher to review it. Don’t ever pay for scholarship services! Talk to your school counselor or contact
EducationQuest about free resources.
