When you are applying for scholarships, ask your teachers in advanced for letters of recommendation so when a particular scholarship needs one or tow letters you have them and your all set. Just make sure to have a typed copy with your teachers signature. That way you can photocopy it and send them out as needed.
Make sure you have an essay ready for your college or university because they probably will ask for one. Include stuff such as your academic achievements, your community service, clubs and extracurricular activities, how your high school as affected you, and your leadership skills. There are more but those are the basics.
Make sure to have your high school transcripts and make sure its the official one. You will need to make copies for colleges and scholarships.
More information will be given later.
