Important Scholarship Information

Letters of Recommendation

Letters of recommendation may be used for many different scholarships, therefore, keep a file of these letters for future use.  Another list that is helpful for you to develop and use for a variety of scholarship applications is a list of your activities, leadership roles, awards, etc.  If you can be somewhat organized and personally responsible, applying for scholarships need not be overly time consuming. 

Good luck in your scholarship work!

Many teachers like to be provided with a Brag Sheet about you to assist them in writing their letter of recommendation.
