Scholarship deadlines usually fall on, or near, the same day every year. It’s important to keep track of these dates and prepare all submission materials in advance, including forms, ancestry paperwork, personal statements, and recommendations. It’s also a good idea to look around your community for possible scholarship opportunities. Foundations, community civics clubs, businesses, etc., often have scholarships for which you may qualify. Spend some time researching all possible scholarship opportunities and put together a list. Then, begin gathering your materials. Below is a short list of resources to get started.
