Application Instructions
TO RECEIVE FULL CONSIDERATION FOR A SCHOLARSHIP AWARD, APPLICATION MUST BE
COMPLETE. PLEASE FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY.
- Fill out the financial portion
(the Financial Aid Questionnaire) of your application first and seal it in
a plain business-sized envelope. Mark a large $ sign on the BACK of
this envelope. Do not enclose anything else since this envelope is
forwarded unopened to an outside consultant for evaluation. Mail
it to the address below to be received no later than April
22, 2008.
- Complete the Personal Data
Application Form. The criteria used for awards are primarily
financial need, academic achievement, and community service. Please
include everything that you think the awards committee should know, as
they will not know your name when the applications are reviewed. It
is important that answers to the narrative portions be as complete and
detailed as possible to provide substantive information to the
committee. Be specific about work
experiences, contributions to school and to the community. College
students should concentrate on activities pursued at that level rather
than in high school.
- Completed applications must be received
no later than May 2, 2008. Your
guidance department, registrar and your references, however, should have
the application no later than April 2, 2008, to give
them ample time to complete their part. Some post-secondary schools
are very slow in sending out transcripts, so we advise you to request one
be sent as soon as you know you are going to apply.
The address to be used for all application materials is:
Awards Clerk
Dollars For Scholars
P.O. Box 63
Sherborn, MA 01770
