HELPFUL HINTS FOR THE APPLICANT

The school transcript submitted with your application should be an unofficial copy (Not a screenshot of Aeries). You will NEED to contact your counselor so plan accordingly.
Two (2) Letters of Recommendation The form (https://tinyurl.com/aaglorcopy) is provided for convenience only. A letter may be submitted, as long as it contains appropriate letterhead. All letters should be signed and dated by the recommender. Start asking for these early, so that the individual has sufficient time to write the best letter for you.
Your cumulative, NON-WEIGHTED G.P.A., should be exactly as it appears on your transcript.
Add any additional essays or requirements specific to the scholarships for which you are applying. If a particular scholarship requests an additional essay, include the scholarship name as the heading. All components need to be present for your application to be considered by the sponsor.
