“How to Succeed in the Scholarship Search” (SSS)
Workshop Focus: This workshop will show students what types of scholarships are available, who offers them and how they can organize their search and application efforts to achieve better results. Using the “How to Succeed in the Scholarship Search’ workbook, students are introduced to the important parts of the search and application process and are shown strategies to obtain the strongest letters of recommendation, write effective essays, succeed in scholarship interviews and avoid the typical scholarship blunders. Participants will learn how to:
· Locate scholarships as early as the 9th grade year
· Use the best scholarship resources
· Develop a plan for the scholarship search
· Position themself to be a scholarship winner
· Develop a strong personal profile
· Avoid typical scholarship blunders
· Give their application the winning edge
· Develop an effective scholarship essay
· Prepare for scholarship interviews
· Qualify for Education Lottery Scholarships
Who Should Attend: This six-hour workshop is ideal for high school students, and their parents, at any grade level who want to learn how to take advantage of their freshman, sophomore and junior years to develop a competitive personal profile and to learn how to start their scholarship search early. An early start on the scholarship search allows students to learn what scholarships are available to them as a senior, develop a plan to pursue those and even allows them to find scholarships open to freshman, sophomores and juniors. Many scholarships are lost to students who do not have a game plan to win scholarships. Bring your laptop to use in hands-on activities. Wireless connection will be available.
