Helpful Tips to Standout

1. Talk to the members! 
2. Participate in the activities. 
3. Greet the staff or make small talk with them. This helps you make a positive impact on the staff so they remember who you are. 
4. When it comes to peer interviews, take those interviews seriously. This is when students really form opinions. 
5. Follow instructions even if it means you may be split up from your friends. It's important that the staff see that you are okay getting out of your comfort zone. 
You can turn in your application at any time! If you need an application packet, ask a staff member this Saturday.

I Have a Dream Scholarship 

It's crazy to think of all the amazing stories that happen as soon as we close our eyes and drift to sleep. It could be in a deep slumber or perhaps in a carefree daze, but our dreams can help shape our ideas, perceptions, and - now - education.

If we had that crazy contraption from "Inception," we could just live the dream with you. But, since we can't, we need you to tell us in our scholarship for dreamers. Did you have a dream that was off-the-wall, or maybe it was so real that you didn't know you were dreaming? Maybe you dream of a successful future or reaching your goals. Whatever your dreams might be, they could help you towards getting a scholarship for your college education.

Scholarships don't have to exist in your rich reveries. Let your dreams be your muse - and your ticket to free money for school. One "dreamer" in our I Have a Dream Scholarship Scholarship will receive $1,500 to help make his or her educational dream come true.

The I Have a Dream Scholarship winner will be notified by email or phone on or around April 30, 2021.

Requirements

 - Must be 14 years of age or older at time of application.
 - Must be a legal U.S. resident.
 - Must be a resident of one of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia
 - This award is for U.S. students.

Submersion 

"We want to know... what do you dream about? Whether it's some bizarre dream you had last week, or your hopes for the future, share your dreams with us for a chance to win $1,500 for college." (250 words or less)
