Scholarship Tips and Reminders
- Keep in mind, Google searches are the best way to find scholarships!
- Set a goal to google, and complete at least one scholarship application every couple of weeks during your Junior and Senior year!
- There are so many scholarships available, but you have to do your part and search for them!!
- All scholarships have requirements, make sure you meet those before beginning the "paperwork" part of the scholarship.
- Create a chart or list of scholarships you are eligible for and their due dates.
- Begin making a "portfolio" early in high school that showcases your extracurricular activities, community service, and accomplishments... add pictures and descriptions to show scholarship committees who you are and why you deserve their scholarship.
- If a scholarship requires a teacher/counselor recommendation you MUST give the teacher/counselor a full week to write it and get it back to you, so keep that in mind when looking at deadlines.
