Tips for Winning Scholarships

Do not wait until May of your senior year to start applying for scholarships.
Choose references that will say good things about you and give them at least two to three weeks to write a letter of recommendation for you. Brag sheets are available in Student Services.
ALWAYS include your transcripts and AT LEAST one letter of recommendation with your application. They can separate you from your peers.
Transcripts can be requested through Parchment and are free of charge.
Be very neat and follow directions. When possible, always type.
Follow deadlines. Applications submitted after deadlines (dates and/or times) will not be accepted.
On a scholarship resume, MORE IS BETTER. Be sure to include everything you have done since ninth grade (ex. activities, work, leadership)
Never pay for scholarship information.
