Scholarship Applicant Do's & Don'ts
Scholarships are awarded to a student based on academic achievement and/or need, depending on the source of funds.
Every college and/or university provides some scholarships
(they establish their own criteria)
The vast majority of scholarships are based on either and/or both the ACT score and Class Rank.
If you have decided on a college of your choice, you should check out the requirements for scholarships available through the desired college and/or university.
Students are primarily responsible for identifying and applying for scholarships. They will need to search for scholarships, fill out the paperwork, and bring the completed scholarship into the counselor’s office if recommendation letters or official transcripts are required. It is critical that the completed application is submitted by the deadline date.
Possible resources for scholarships are as follows:
- Scholarship file in counselor’s office
- Scholarships are listed in daily announcements at Logan Rogersville High School and the announcements are posted outside the counseling office.
- Utilize the internet
- Check for local scholarships
- Check with employers (A number of companies provide scholarship money for their employees and their families)
