The Money Is There, but You Have to Ask for It!
There's a lot of advice out there about the best way to apply for scholarships—how you should "package" yourself in the essay, which extracurricular activities to emphasize, and what color paper to use for your resume. The truth is, much of this advice can vary widely, depending on the author—and what works for one applicant may not necessarily work for another.
Your will discover that most of the scholarship secrets simply boil down to using common sense and following directions carefully.
Application Tips
Here are some tips you can use to create solid applications and avoid common scholarship mistakes:
1. Start Researching Scholarships as soon as possible
The more time you can put into a scholarship search, the more options there'll be. You will need time to research scholarships, request information and application materials, and complete applications—plus, some scholarships have deadlines early in the fall of the senior year. You can use our online Scholarship Search to get started.
2. Read Eligibility Requirements Carefully
If your have a question about eligibility for a particular scholarship, contact the scholarship sponsors immediately.
3. Organize All Scholarship documents
Your should create a separate file for each scholarship and file by application date. Keep a calendar of application deadlines and follow-up appointments.
Many scholarships require you to provide some combination of the following:
- Transcript
- Standardized test scores (eg Toefl, IELTS, GRE, SAT, and so on)
- Parent's financial information, including tax returns
- One or more essays
- One or more letters of recommendation
- Proof of eligibility (e.g. membership credentials)
You may also need to prepare for a personal interview. For students competing for talent-based scholarships, an audition, performance, or portfolio may be required.
4. Proofread Applications Carefully
You can use the computer's spelling and grammar check features to scan for any careless mistakes, however, it's also a good idea to ask others—you, a teacher, or a friend—to read the essays and share thoughts and ideas.
5. Don't Leave Items Blank
Blank items will slow down the processing of your application. Your should contact scholarship sponsors with questions on how to fill out any part of the application.
6. Follow Instructions to the Letter
Make sure you do not go over the length limit for the essay. Another application don't: sending supporting materials that are not requested in the application.
7. Make Sure the Application is Legible
Type or print application forms and essays.
8. Make Copies of Everything
If application materials are lost, having copies on hand will make it much easier to resend the application quickly.
9. Double-Check the Application
If you are reusing material (such as a cover letter or essay) from another scholarship application, be especially careful you haven't left in any incorrect names or blank fields. He should not forget to sign and date his application.
10. Get Your Applications in Early
Missing deadlines means missing out. Consider using certified mail and/or return receipt. Or send your documents through a fastest medium like DHL. And Relax!

You need think about it. Despite the emails, the overwhelming evidence showing global warming is happening hasn't changed.
"The e-mails do nothing to undermine the very strong scientific consensus . . . that tells us the Earth is warming, that warming is largely a result of human activity," Jane Lubchenco, who heads the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, told a House committee. She said that the e-mails don't cover data from NOAA and NASA, whose independent climate records show dramatic warming.
