Scholarships have a variety of criteria that applicants must meet. Students are responsible for deadlines and materials sent to scholarship agencies. If you need letters of recommendation or other materials from teachers, community persons, counselors, administrators, or the secretary, request these materials well in advance of the deadline. If you wait, persons may not be available or have time to assist you. Letters of recommendation may be used for many different scholarships, therefore, keep a file of these letters for future use. Another list that is helpful for you to develop and use for a variety of scholarship applications is a list of your activities, leadership roles, awards, etc. If you can be somewhat organized and personally responsible, applying for scholarships need not be overly time consuming. Good luck in your scholarship work!
