Awards & Scholarships Tips Some quick tips for securing scholarships, grants, and awards.
- Create a resume, if you don't already have one, and update it often.
- Document the results of your work - events, projects, number of people served, number of people involved, amount of money raised and donated.
- Do your homework. In other words, get to know the organization that is supplying the scholarship or grant you want - read, read, read!
- Sounds stupid, but make sure that you follow instructions.
- Make sure you fit the criteria.
- Get your application in on time.
- If you need references, get them early - not at the last minute.
- Remember that commitment to one thing is more impressive than a little time spent on 8 million different projects.
- Feel free to ask for help.
