CORAL REEF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

SCHOLARSHIP BULLETIN

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2017

10 Tips on Winning a Scholarship 1. Start searching for scholarships as soon as possible. Don't wait until spring of your senior year in high school to start searching, or you'll miss half the deadlines. Continue searching for scholarships even after you are enrolled in college. Consider this like a full time job. 2. Answer all of the optional questions on a scholarship matching web site for about twice as many matches. 3. Use a free scholarship matching service like Fastweb.com. The Fastweb database is updated daily, and the site will email you notifications of new scholarships that match your personal background profile. www.cappex.com and www.studentscholarhips.org are also very good. 4. Pick up applications for local scholarships in Ms. Gilman’s office (when available) or the financial aid offices of local colleges & universities, and check out the public library's jobs and careers section. 5. Apply to every scholarship for which you are eligible. Pursue less competitive scholarships, such as small awards and essay contests, since they are easier to win and the money adds up and helps you win bigger scholarships. 6. Don't miss deadlines. Use a calendar and checklist to get organized. 7. Tailor your application to the sponsor's goals. Read and follow the instructions carefully. 8. If you have difficulty writing essays, try recording yourself as you answer the question out loud, and transcribe the recording later. Most people can think and speak faster than they can write or type. Create an outline afterward to organize your thoughts. 9. Personalize your essay and be passionate. Write about something of interest to you. Make your application stand out from the crowd. Talk about your impact on other people. Give examples and be specific. 10. Google your name and make sure you have a professional online profile. Use a professional email address, such as firstname.lastname@gmail.com. Clean up the content of your Facebook/Instagram/Snapchat etc… accounts, removing inappropriate and immature material.

Raise.me helps students in 9th - 12th grades to discover colleges and earn scholarships for their academic and extracurricular achievements

throughout high school. These bite-sized scholarships are called “Micro-Scholarships”. When students add achievements to their Portfolio on

Raise.me, they could be eligible to earn Micro-Scholarships towards our partner colleges. These achievements can include good grades, participating

in clubs, playing on a sports team, volunteering, or even starting a club. They can include AP or IB courses, honors classes, and college-level courses,

too. Students can build a Portfolio of their achievements, Follow Colleges, and watch their scholarship earnings pile up. The Micro-Scholarships

students can earn on Raise.me vary depending on what each college chooses to offer. Some Micro-Scholarships can range from anywhere between

$500 to over $1,000 dollars. For example, if a student gets an A in an English class, he or she could be eligible to receive scholarships from dozens of

colleges on Raise.me. When students achieve a goal and earn Micro-Scholarships, they can view their earnings in their personal Portfolio on

Raise.me any time throughout high school. Each college has a different deadline for students who wish to earn scholarships on Raise.me. If students

decide to apply for admission to a college where they have earned Micro-Scholarships, they must follow a college before its Follow Deadline and

make sure their Portfolio is as complete as possible to ensure their information is fully submitted to the college. If the student is admitted to the

college, their scholarship earnings will automatically be included in their financial aid package.
