If your application is incomplete or not detailed enough, it may not be considered for the scholarship. It’s important to spend a little time on it. Here are some tips:
- Follow directions
- Be honest
- Highlight your strengths, passions and successes
- Read through the entire application before writing answers
- Respond to each question with a complete answer
- Practice writing your essay, if one is requested, and be sure to review and modify it as needed before putting it on your final application
- Ask a family member, teacher or counselor to review your application for errors
- Make sure to return all information by the deadline
- Keep a copy of your application
Your application should reflect who you are. Remember that the more scholarships you apply for, the greater your chances are of receiving one…or more!
