Explain how it fits into your future plans. • Communicate your longer term goals. Scholarship providers want to know they are enhancing the life of a goal-oriented person. • Fill out a Brag Sheet to help those you are requesting a reference letter from. • Make a checklist for each scholarship and stay organized. • Plan ahead and don’t procrastinate. Give yourself plenty of time to fill out applications. You cannot accomplish this overnight. • Have your application proofed before you submit it. • Don’t miss deadlines!
