How to Apply for Scholarships
**The first and most important tip - do not procrastinate when applying** What does procrastinate mean, you may ask?
Well, it means the action of delaying or postponing something. Let’s not go there!
Here is the basic order of applying:
1) How to choose and where to find scholarships - Choose scholarships you qualify for and are interested in by looking through the Scholarship Packets located in the CCRC, on Schoology, and on the school website.
2) Deadlines and delivery methods – This falls on you! Be sure to pay close attention to both of those. Put scholarships into that order so you complete the ones that are due first. The best rule of thumb would be to complete the scholarship BEFORE the due date. (The CCRC is responsible for some and you are responsible for some)
3) Letter of Recommendations - If any scholarships require a counselor or teacher Letter of Recommendation, fill out a request form and give it to them. They MUST be given at least one week to complete this.
4) Transcript Request – this will be the last thing you complete. After you have finished with all parts of your scholarship application, fill out a transcript request (for one scholarship) or the multiple scholarship transcript request form (for more than one/blue form). **Be sure that it really does need an OFFICIAL transcript. Many only need an unofficial. They will specify.**
