Top Tips for Scholarship Applicants
Tip 1: If you have not completed your federal financial aid form (FAFSA), be sure to do so. Demonstrating financial need is an important factor for scholarship eligibility. Even with financial aid, you might still benefit from a scholarship award. For more information on financial aid, visit Financial Aid Central.
Tip 2: Don’t rush through your essay questions in the application because the awarding process has changed. You will now be awarded on the scoring of your essay questions and by completing Brag Box section.
Give these some thought and do a spelling and grammar check before submitting. Describing your goals and your need for financial assistance helps the Scholarship Committee learn about you and your unique circumstances. Tell us what sets you apart in the Brag Box or something that you have or are a part of. Just DO NOT leave that section unanswered.
Tip 3: Actually submit your application. Working on your application and not submitting it is like leaving an important purchase in your shopping cart. Set aside some quiet time to work on, complete, and submit your application – in one setting, if possible. Many students complete their applications in less than an hour.
Tip 4: Just like with FAFSA, you must reapply for scholarship consideration each academic year. You will not receive an automatic renewal of scholarship funds from one year to the next.
