COMPREHENSIVE SCHOLARSHIP
PROGRAM
Note: This page leads to
Word versions of the forms.
This is an opportunity for each senior to submit a single application and be considered for a variety of community scholarships. Any senior who plans to continue their education after graduation should fill out and submit an application for this scholarship program.
Neatness makes a difference! Carefully complete this application. Print in black ink, type it up on a typewriter, or use the Microsoft Word fillable form. Follow all directions and be sure to proofread your work before you turn it in so you can avoid any misspellings, cross outs, typos, or poor grammar.
Follow these steps for a complete application package:
1. Read the descriptions of the community scholarships and find ones that apply to you.
2. Discuss your selections with your parents or guardians and then check them off on the attached selection sheet. Both you and a parent must sign the bottom of that form!
3. Next, prepare a biography or resume (visit the Career Center for help with the resume) and give it to a teacher with your Request for Recommendation form. If you already have a bio, you can use that to request a letter. However, you will still need a copy of your resume to attach to your application, so get that done as well.
4. Now, complete the application. Take some time and write meaningful responses to each question. Remember, the people choosing scholarship winners don’t know you and will judge you against other applicants solely based on what you write. Use only the form provided or the computer generated equivalent available on the Internet. Do not retype all of the questions and type in answers in your own format. You and your parent or guardian must also sign the application to validate its contents and permit us to release your package to sponsors.
5. Finally, turn in your selection sheet, application form, and resume to the counseling office. We will get your letter of recommendation directly from the teacher, but you can ask them if they turned it in for you. Your absolute deadline is 4 pm on February 19, 2010.
