Resume

A successful scholarship search requires that you carefully target your resume and application to stand out from other applicants. Preparing a resume for a scholarship is not significantly different from any other resume that a high school or college student might need.

Resumes are typically one page and include:

• Your contact information
• Education: major(s), current GPA, degree expected
• Awards and honors
• Experience and activities
• Additional: ex. Skills, publications, interests
• Use of action words
