Tips for Completing a Scholarship Application

1. Submit a neatly, completed application. It is not mandatory that the application be typed, however you want to present your application in a neat, legible format.
   
   
2. Recommendations count! If a specific scholarship requests that you submit three faculty or staff recommendations, you might ask four or five different people. Remember that faculty and staff members are not required to make a recommendation for you.
   
   
3. Review the selection criteria. You probably will not be eligible for all scholarships that are offered during a specific semester. List only those scholarships on your application that you meet the criteria.
   
   
4. Meet the deadline. Applications and recommendations will not be accepted after the deadline.
