Deadline Approaching for Spring 2014 Scholarships
If you’re a distance student who has been admitted to a distance degree program, you are eligible for scholarships offered through the Division of Continuing Education (DCE). The application deadline for Spring 2014 scholarships is November 2, 2013.
Make sure you put your best foot forward when filling out scholarship applications. Below are tips to help you shine.
- Follow the directions: In the race to get an application in on time, students sometimes make mistakes. By following all of the directions provided, you can give yourself an advantage. Also, make sure you provide all of the information requested.
- Provide examples: When writing your essay, make sure each statement has evidence to support it. Instead of simply writing that you have leadership skills, illustrate your point by following your statement with an anecdote.
- Help your supporters: Provide the people writing letters of recommendation for you with a list of your accomplishments. It will make their job much easier and may also improve the quality of your recommendations.
- Proofread: Before you submit your application, review it carefully for grammar and punctuation. Ask someone to read your application as well. He or she may catch something you missed!
