better chance you have to submit
the application before the
deadline. you also have more time
to ask questions in case any part of
the process needs clarification.

specific details when sharing your
extracurricular activities. we do

details can help us understand
how great you are.

don’t expect the essay or
monologue to be longer than the
300 word requirement, however,
make sure it answers the question,
why getting this care scholarship
is important to you?

Review your application for
grammar and spelling errors.
