Scholarship search tips A college education is expensive. Many students graduate from college with tremendous debt in the form of college loans.

Scholarships are one way to cut down on that debt.

By Sandi Roehrig, Executive Director of the Fond du Lac Area Foundation

Scholarships differ from loans, in that it is money that does not have to be repaid. The scholarship search is not an easy one. It can be very time consuming. Receiving a scholarship makes it time well spent. Understanding the criteria for each scholarship and matching your own situation to that criteria is critical in a successful scholarship search.

Scholarships vary by intended major, dollar amounts, age, interests, geographic location, and employment. Some scholarships are awarded to graduating seniors and others to those already attending college. Many scholarships are one-time only. The greatest value is found in those that are renewable.

Some scholarships are merit based, others need based, others interest based, others cultural based. You may need different information for different scholarships.

Personal statements are commonly asked for in scholarships applications. Don’t try to use one statement to “fit all” applications. You will be more successful if you tailor each personal statement to meet the specific criteria for each application. The Fond du Lac Area Foundation awards more than $100,000 each year in college scholarships to area students.

We see applicants using the same statement for multiple scholarships when the criteria and questions for each scholarship differ.

Organize your personal information. The more unique the criteria of your scholarship, the more likely you will be awarded a scholarship when you find one you are eligible for. Examples of what you should compile are: ■ High school of graduation.

■ Colleges/Professional or Trade schools you are interested in attending.

■ Sports.

■ Hobbies (yes, even video games).

■ Major (or favorite subjects if undecided).

■ Clubs & Associations (Future Farmers of America, National Honors Society).

■ Employment /Parent’s Employer (business names or unions associated to the student’s family).

■ Favorite Books.

■ Awards and Honors.

■ Medical Conditions.

■ Family or Personal Status (Single parents, lower income, or unemployed).

2

Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (known as the FAFSA). It is a form that should be filled out annually by current and anticipating students and sometimes their parents to determine eligibility for federal student financial aid. The federal government provides billions of dollars in grant aid to post-secondary students annually in both grants and loans. The aid comes in several forms.

Need-based federal aid: ■ Federal Pell Grants.

■ Federal Subsidized Stafford Loans.

■ Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants.

■ Federal Work Study.

■ Perkins Loans.

Financing options: ■ Federal PLUS loans (also known as Direct Plus Loans).

■ Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loans (Also known as Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans).

■ Loans from parents.

■ Alternative student loans from banks, credit unions, etc.

Even if you don’t think you would qualify for need-based federal aid, you should still file the FAFSA application. Most states and schools use information from the FAFSA to award non-federal aid.

Documents Needed for FAFSA You will need the following information to complete the FAFSA financial aid forms necessary for determining federal student financial aid eligibility. Many scholarship and state programs will also require copies of or information from these documents: ■ Social security number.

■ Drivers license.

■ W-2 and 1099 forms.

■ Most recent federal tax return.

■ Records of your family’s untaxed income from the past year(for example, Social Security, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Veteran’s benefits, welfare, etc.).

■ Most recent bank statements.

■ Business income records.

■ Mortgage information.

■ Investment information (stocks, bonds, etc).

■ For Non-US citizens, a permanent resident card or alien registration number.

■ Dependent students will need all information for themselves and their parents.

■ Married students will have to supply information for themselves and their spouses.

Yes, this is a lot of information to compile. That is why it important to be organized and keep this information where you can access it throughout your scholarship search. Once you have it compiled and organized, it will make the rest of your search much easier.

Read all the scholarship requirements and directions carefully to make sure you’re eligible before you send in your application.

Complete the application in full

Watch all deadlines

If a question doesn’t apply, note that on the application. Don’t just leave a blank. Supply all additional supporting material, such as transcripts, letters of recommendation and essays.

To help keep yourself on track, impose your own deadline that is at least two weeks prior to the official deadline. Use the buffer time to make sure everything is ready on time. Don’t rely on extensions—very few scholarship providers allow them at all.

Follow directions Provide everything that’s required, but don’t supply things that aren’t requested – you could be disqualified.

Neatness counts Always type your application, or if you must print, do so neatly and legibly. Make a couple of photocopies of all the forms before you fill them out. Use the copies as working drafts as you develop your application packet.

Make sure your application gets where it needs to go Put your name (and Social Security number, if applicable) on all pages of the application. Pieces of your application may get lost unless they are clearly identified.

Keep a back-up file in case anything goes wrong Before sending the application, make a copy of the entire packet. If your application goes astray, you’ll be able to reproduce it quickly.

Write an essay that makes a strong impression

Give it a final “once-over”

The key to writing a strong essay is to be personal and specific.

Include concrete details to make your experience come alive: the who, what, where, and when of your topic. The simplest experience can be monumental if presented honestly. Tell how you were affected. Don’t be afraid to talk about your strengths. You need to sell yourself and also stand out over your competition.

Proofread the entire application carefully. Be on the lookout for misspelled words or grammatical errors. Ask a friend, teacher or parent to proofread it as well.

Ask for help if you need it If you have problems with the application, don’t hesitate to call the funding organization.
