Smart Tips for Scholarships • Start Early • • Start searching your sophomore or junior years • • Apply for scholarships about a year before you will actually receive the aid • • Get good grades • • Be organized so that you don't waste time applying to the same scholarship twice • Prepare Yourself • • Get involved in clubs and organizations • • Perform community service and keep records • Do Research • • Figure out what separates you from everyone else • • Consider unique circumstances or conditions • • Search everywhere for scholarships
Tips Continued……… • Send Away for Applications and Information • • Contact organizations through mail to request applications • • Give the organizations time to select recipients, but follow up too • • Watch out for deadlines • Apply • • Make sure you understand all the information being requested • • Give yourself enough time to complete the application • • Keep a calendar of all deadlines • • Double check spelling and grammar • • Give your best effort for each application • Beware • • Do not pay any business or person to get a list of scholarships; there are too many free searches available • • Do not pay a scholarship application fee; sometimes this is also called an “administrative fee” • Copied from Arkansas Student Loan Authority website
