  • Review and take-note-of the eligibility criteria for each individual award to be sure that you qualify as each award unique terms and considerations.
  • Add each application deadline to your calendar – it can be easy to loose track or mix-up the deadlines for different awards, especially if you are applying for more than one during the same year. Late application cannot be considered, so make sure to note the deadline for each award in your the calendar you use to plan your time.
  • Complete and submit ALL parts of your applications – applications for some awards may include additional components, such as a letter of reference or personal statement.
    • For applications that include supporting documents take the time to review what the award represents, for example: involvement in the community. Be sure to represent how you meet those criteria (in your supporting documents).
