**Packaging your scholarship:** You want to put your best foot forward and personalize your scholarship application. It helps to include a cover letter (introducing yourself), resume' and letters of recommendation. If the scholarship is searching for candidates with strong leadership, community or volunteer experiences, you should include a letter of recommendation from a person who can address your strengths in those areas. Photographs personalize an application even further and a picture certainly is worth a thousand words! ||
 * **Scroll down the page to find scholarships in bold which are currently activated and accepting applications. The scholarships are posted in order of due date so you may prioritize an application if you are completing several.** Please follow the application instructions carefully and see your counselor if you have questions regarding the application procedure. You may also check a college's website for scholarships offered by their institution and remember - **it is important to respect all deadlines**. The **"Due Date"** is the date the completed application should be submitted to your counselor in the Guidance Office if it is a paper application (unless otherwise noted). If letters of recommendation are required, they should be included with your application. The counselor will review the application and attach a transcript if needed. Mrs. Williams will package the applications together and submit them to the sponsoring organization by the organization's due date. **//Students// //do not need// //to provide an envelope and/or postage.//**
