1) Apply only to those scholarships that best fit your profile! Find as many as you can, then weed them out until you can find the 10 best-fit applications.
2) Pay attention to deadlines!
3) Send the application in with a "thank you" cover letter!
4) Provide answers and items to the committee in the order they are listed on the application!
5) Add extra items to your application (if not prohibited). These "extra" items could include any letters of recommendations, a short essay on your career goals, an acceptance letter from a college, and school transcripts.
6) Sell yourself!!! Find every little thing you can to brag about yourself. Get your parents to help you with this.
7) Proof-read all the materials before sending the application in and make sure everything is in a neat order.
8) Submit your application land and other information in a clear plastic folder with a slide-locking binder. Make sure the "thank you" cover letter is on top, followed by the application, followed by the extra informatioin.
