Scholarship Tips
Check your school's website for scholarships you may be interested in. High schools and colleges have scholarships specifically for their students. Search engines can help you find general and specific scholarships. Try http://apps.collegeboard.org/cbsearch_ss/welcome.jsp
Double check your work. Have a parent or teacher look over your application and give you suggestions as needed.
Proper spelling and good grammar are important.
Apply early. Avoid the last minute rush which may not give you time to do your best work. Also, servers can go down on web sites with online entries when lots of people send their applications in right before the deadline.
Many scholarships are offered every year. If you find an outdated listing on a website, etc. go to the scholarship sponsor's webpage to get the current due date.
Good luck in your scholarship search!!!
