Scholarships

1. Where can I find scholarships?
There is a scholarship list in our resources and help section but there are others available. There may be scholarship awards given out by organizations that you are more closely connected to. Check to see if any of the following have scholarship awards available: your employer, organizations you volunteer with, associations you are a member of or that others close to you are members of, your place of worship, and organizations of professionals who promote work in a field you are interested in.

2. What makes a good impression on a scholarship application?
Research information for scholarships well. Make sure you meet all deadlines and give all the information required for the application or you can be quickly disqualified. Give any essays to someone else to look at to ensure there are no misspellings. Type it if you can or write as neatly as you can. Follow-up with the funder after your application is submitted to ensure they received your application.
