Tips for success:

Review necessary documents needed for each scholarship

Find, scan and create a file folder on your computer for all the paperwork

Watch the application deadline, some scholarships are first come approval or greatest financial need

If the application portal is slow or not working, try again at non peak times. I often do mine in the middle of the night or very early morning.

Find a school that accepts your child and scholarship.
