Any tips for applying for better and more applicable scholarships?

Hi Sienna, Are you familiar with fastweb.com?  That's a good scholarship website. My best tip would be to make sure any essays and/or applications are well written. Have someone proofread them for you. Ask for help writing them if you need it. Highlight your strengths and include any community service or volunteer work you have done. This is your first and often only chance to make a first impression. Make sure you respresent yourself in a clear and concise way.
