Tips For Scholarship Searching
 Double check to make sure you meet all of the
eligibility requirements for individual
scholarships. If you only meet one or two of
the requirements you will not be considered for
the award.
 For scholarships that mention an applicant
must be a member of a ‘minority’ group, these
usually include: Black/African-American,
Hispanic/Latino, Asian, and Native American.
 Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to
complete scholarship applications. While there
are some that only require a short submission,
for others you may need to have transcripts,
references, resume or write an essay. It is best
to have the required materials ready before
starting the application.

If the application indicates that you should
have a ‘career interest,’ it does not have to be
an area that is your major, but should be
something you are seriously considering
pursuing as a career. If it states you must
belong to a certain ‘major,’ make sure that this
is what you are studying here at CW.
