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.

Education Matters
As a scholarship seeker, you're probably already well-aware of the importance of an education. But, what about the naysayers? Have you come across someone who's tried to talk you out of college, saying that it's not worth it?
While continuing your education takes time, and money, there's a certain value that everyone is hoping to achieve. Our Education Matters Scholarship is giving you the chance to state why education matters. Why does education matter to you? What is the value you hope to receive from college? What would you do to convince the college cynics?
Speaking up for education could lead to helping you pay for your own. One applicant will be awarded our $5,000 Education Matters Scholarship.
Deadline: November 30, 2023
