Scholarship Checklist

Complete the application in full. If a question does not apply, note that on the application – do not just leave it blank.

Provide documentation that is required (cover letter, transcript, SAT/ACT scores, essay, tax return, college acceptance letters).

If applicable, submit a well-composed essay that makes a definite impression. Essays should be typed and signed. Do not use lined notebook paper. Ask your English teacher to proofread your completed essay.

Neatness and accuracy does count! Do not submit with cross-outs, whiteout, misspelled words or grammar errors.

If applicable, mail application to the proper address with the proper postage affixed. Mail in advance to ensure it is received by the deadline.

Give your application materials a final review.
