Explore your options: Look into local scholarships and use a trusted internet service, like the ones listed below.

Start Early & Don't miss deadlines: Start your scholarship search early. It takes time to research, request information, and complete your applications, so don't procrastinate. Many have early fall deadlines.

Be Active: Scholarship committees look favorably on those who participate in extracurricular activities and are active in their communities.

Stay Organized: Students should keep a checklist of submission requirements and due dates. Be sure to complete all of the necessary paper before submitting an application.

Follow the Instructions: Watch your essay length and submit only materials that are requested. Proofread your applications to avoid any embarrassing spelling/grammar errors. Be sure your writing is legible.

Don't ignore scholarships just because they have smaller award amounts, it all adds up!

Search every year. Many scholarships are available to grades other than seniors.

Find out what scholarships colleges have available, call their financial aid office or go to their website (scholarships or financial aid).
