Scholarship application tips
- When researching scholarships, always be on the lookout for scholarships with your tribal education office, 社区组织, banks and academic departments.
- Apply to many scholarships as possible. This increases your odds of receiving one because you may not get every scholarship you apply for.
- Most scholarship deadlines are January – May, but be aware of deadlines. Does the scholarship have a “received by” or “postmarked by” deadline?
- Never give out credit card info just to apply or pay for a scholarship service.
- General requirements for most scholarships ask that a student have a minimum 2.5-3.0累积绩点. Keep grades up and be sure to review eligibility requirements on each scholarship application.
- Be sure to proofread your personal statements. If time permits, got to the writing center or have an instructor or mentor review your essay.
- For scholarships that require recommendation letters, give recommenders two weeks to write a recommendation after they accept. It is best to provide information on what scholarship you are applying for, your resume and a pre-paid, addressed envelope to each recommender if being mailed.
- 最后, present yourself in a professional manner by cleaning up your email address, taking a photo that’s not self-photographed and reviewing your social media presence because first impression is key.
