Awards & Scholarships Tips[spacer]
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.
