Tips for Seeking Scholarships

• Find out about every scholarship that was awarded in your major area of study the previous year. Check first with your high school counselor or junior college adviser. Search the Internet for scholarships.
  
  
• Recommendation letters are often required, so well before the deadline, start lining up teachers, employers and mentors to write a glowing letter of recommendation for you.
  
  
• If an essay is required, let your English teacher, high school counselor, parent or a friend review it before you mail it.
  
  
• Save your essay on a CD or hard drive. The same question may be asked in a similar fashion on a different scholarship
