Make Hard Copies – Trust me on this one
After all of your hard work filling out a scholarship application and writing the essay, be sure to make copies of each page.
You can use this information for other scholarships, and if the application gets lost in the mail, it will be easy to reproduce.
Also, if the scholarship provider calls with questions about your application or essay, you can whip out your copies and refresh your memory with exactly what you shared with them.

Open to High School Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors! APPLY NOW HERE
The extra minute it takes to make copies can be worth thousands of scholarship dollars!
