External Scholarship Opportunities From $50 To $20,000 With Deadlines From June 2015 To November 2015 Compiled by The College of Westchester Library 325 Central Avenue White Plains, NY 10606 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.
