Helpful Tips that Matter When 勛圖窪蹋ing
- Application essays are closely reviewed by the Scholarship Selection Committee. Be sure to follow the prompt and write a thoughtful response. Utilize the Tutoring Center for assistance when crafting your personal statement.
- For current applicants crafting their scholarship application essay: The members of the Scholarship Selection Committee will be evaluating your essay based on its originality and how well applicants tell THEIR stories. Overdependance on AI-generated text can often lack the specificity and personality of essays that are written in an applicants own voice and detail their experiences. Successful essay submissions must include original answers to the application questions.
- Well-rounded candidates who are involved are encouraged to apply. GPA is not the sole determinate for selecting recipients. Highlight your extracurricular activities, volunteerism, service-learning, research, internship and employment experiences on your application and in your essay.
- Answer all questions on the application(s). This is how your application will be screened and matched against the 200 Foundation Scholarship opportunities. Qualified students may earn more than one scholarship.
- Make sure you have completed, signed and submitted your application in its entirety. Incomplete applications in draft status are ineligible and will not be forwarded to the Scholarship Selection Committee.
- Ask the professor permission first from whom you wish to request a recommendation letter. Give the professor two or three weeks to write it and consider this timeframe when nearing the application deadline.
