DEVELOPING A SCHOLARSHIP FOLDER
It is important to allow yourself at least three to four weeks to develop your scholarship folder. Don’t throw your scholarship folder together in three or four days - you will forget something.

The presentation of your scholarship folder is important. It should be neat, well organized and words and/or terms should be spelled correctly (i.e. use spell checker).

You will probably apply for more than one scholarship during your college career, so always make sure you keep a back-up copy (cd and paper) of all applications you submit.

Be sure to review the selection criteria for the scholarship and make sure that you address each item

The link below will give you additional tips on developing an excellent scholarship folder.
