5 Tips For Applying to Scholarships:
1. Explore Diverse Scholarship Opportunities: Broaden your horizons by researching various
scholarship options beyond the winners' biographies. Consider a range of opportunities to find the best fit for your skills and goals.

2. Organize with a Checklist: Stay on track by creating a comprehensive scholarship checklist. Schedule submission deadlines, outline instructions, and plan tasks like essay writing or securing recommendations. Make sure to use your own personal & professional email address!

3. Utilize High School Guidance Services: Leverage the resources available at your high
school's guidance office. Seek assistance to refine your scholarship essays, ensuring
impeccable grammar, punctuation, and organization for a polished application.

4. Secure Strong Recommendations: Obtain letters of recommendation from individuals
familiar with your strengths. Provide them with scholarship details and ample time to craft
compelling letters.

5. Keep Backup Copies: Safeguard your applications by creating copies. Submitting early not
only demonstrates punctuality but also protects you in case of lost or returned applications.
