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.

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.
