Scholarship Tips: Assistance is available for writing scholarship essays by clicking here.
Letters of Recommendation: Most scholarships require you to submit letters of recommendation when you apply for consideration. These letters usually include information about your academic and co-curricular achievements, as well as a personal assessment about who you are. Teachers, counselors, coaches, employers, clergy, and other adults who know you well are good people to ask for letters of recommendation. Please allow two weeks for this process.

Type the application if possible.
If typing is not possible, use black ink and print neatly and legibly.
Proof read for grammar, spelling, etc. Remember this is a reflection of yourself and this may be the only way a selection committee formulates an impression of you.
Do not write on the back of the page when writing essays, etc. Use an additional sheet of paper if necessary.
Be prompt when submitting an application. Applications handed in past the due date will not be accepted.
Do not hesitate to apply for lots of scholarships! At the local level, someone is going to be awarded the money. Many scholarship committees attempt to communicate with each other to avoid giving the monies repeatedly to the same students. You may have to apply for many scholarships before you receive one, so do not be discouraged.
Remember to include on the application all co-curricular activities (sports, clubs, jobs, etc.) and any volunteer work. Also include letters of recommendation from teachers, employers, etc., even if the application does not require or request them.
Never pay money to apply for a scholarship! Any application requiring money may be a scam.
