Your campus can be a treasure trove of support! Reach out to your scholarship office for guidance through the application process.

Now is the time to shine! Share your unique story, passions, and goals. Highlight your accomplishments and explain how this award will help you achieve even more. Don’t just talk about your past—share your vision for the future. The awards committee wants to see what makes you special and how this award will propel you forward. 

Strong letters of recommendation can make a significant difference. Choose mentors who know you well and can speak passionately about your qualifications. Keep them informed about the award details and ensure they submit their letters on time. Early and frequent communication with your recommenders is key. 

Deadlines are crucial! Each award has its specific deadline, so double-check to stay organized. If you're applying for a Fellowship, remember your local chapter will have its own submission deadline before forwarding applications to the national level. Click here to find your chapter’s contact information and stay ahead of the timeline.
