Tips for Youth Scholarships<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Take the ACT and\/or SAT more than once if you are not satisfied with your score. And take it during your senior year! A few more months of maturity and finishing your junior year classes help. If you don’t do well on one of the tests, take the other one. TAKE A PREP CLASS!<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Fill out every question of the application. Even a sentence or two about why you don’t have leadership roles\/special circumstances\/a job is better than leaving it blank.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Get a job. Even if it’s baby-sitting, pet sitting or mowing lawns, it shows initiative.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Take a leadership role. Even if it’s secretary of the Spanish Club, do it.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Most schools require volunteer hours; be able to show how you made a difference during those hours. Instead of “handed out water during the marathon”, write, “worked the water station at the marathon promoting physical fitness, raising funds for charity and ensuring runners were well hydrated.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Let your personality show, even if you have limited space. Try to describe how the activities you were involved in enriched your life. “I never thought I’d enjoy cleaning cages at the humane society shelter, but spending time with dogs made me realize how much joy they bring.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Count the hours. For example, most marching band members spend 10-20 hours a week outside of class in rehearsal. Include those numbers.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. There are a lot of scholarships out there. Bug your guidance counselor for lists.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Always show your application to a trusted adult before submitting<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Do not lie, but the more information, the better.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Find leadership roles in group activities, including sports teams, scouts and band. It helps.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. Have a “low” GPA or test score? Explain it. Text anxiety. Illness. Divorce. Working to help support family finances. Everything is taken into consideration.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  13. Adults want to help. There is money out<\/strong> there. Go for it!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
