Scholarship Application Tips in 2018 for college students

• Before you apply
Ø Work hard to get good grades. Don’t sweat about one bad grade, but always strive to do your best.
Ø Get involved, and stay involved, in out-of-class activities. Sports, clubs, drama, bands and orchestras — these often count toward a student’s overall scholarship application evaluation. The same goes for paid (or unpaid) work experience.
Ø Begin your scholarship research early — by your sophomore or junior year of high school, if possible. Make special note of application deadlines, as they can vary from late summer to late spring.
Ø Apply for as many scholarships as you are eligible for — several smaller scholarships can add up to a lot of money.
• During the application process
Ø Read the supplementary materials that come with scholarship application forms to better understand the program’s focus (community service, subject interest). Try to answer the questions with the focus area in mind.
Ø Answer questions as they are asked. Don’t go off topic.
Ø If there is a financial section to the application, make sure you get accurate and complete information from all appropriate sources to ensure your eligibility.
Ø Take your time. Write down everything you can think of for each question, then set the application aside for a day so you can look everything over again before you send it off.
Ø Don’t wait until the last minute to complete your application, especially if you are applying online. Computer systems can get blocked with the large volume of applicants hoping to submit their qualifications during the last few days and hours before a deadline.
Ø If a third party has to complete part of your application, such as providing a letter of recommendation, make sure you ask them early on and remind them as often as necessary to ensure they provide you with the necessary materials.
Ø Last but not least, review your application with your parents to make sure you haven’t left out any important details.

For most kids, a typical school day includes lessons in math, science, and English language arts. But for Callista Grant, 11, a typical day might also include instruction in American Indian drumming and dancing. She studies the Ojibwe and Lakota languages, too, and enjoys school powwows（帕瓦仪式）.

Callista goes to the American Indian Magnet School（AIMS）, in Saint Paul, Minnesota. It is open to kids from pre-K to grade 8.

Although other U. S. schools teach American Indian culture, the teachers at AlMS say their school is unique. They connect lessons to American Indian culture . When students learn about plant life cycles in science, they also learn about how native people used herbs for ceremonies and healing. A language arts class may include a reading about the meaning of the jingle dress. Callista says the focus on American Indian culture helps everyone know that "the culture is still alive".

Callista is Cherokee and Ojibwe. Of the 680 students at AlMS, about one-quarter are American Indians. It is a public school that is open to all kids in the community. All students gain from the school's focus. "It's important for everyone to know about the people who were here first and that they still live here today, "says teacher Tamara Goggleye. Lessons give all students a chance to explore their heritage.

Callista represents the school at powwows and other events. She is proud to teach others about their history. "We might lose our culture if we don't show it to our kids," Callista says. "Kids need to help pass down our culture, or it could go away. " AIMS and Callista are working to make sure that won't happen.

【小题1】Why is the American Indian Magnet School different from others？

A．Students in this school learn about plant life cycles.

B．Only this school teaches American Indian culture.

C．Students here can learn how foreign people use herbs.

D．This school link lessons to American Indian culture.

【小题2】How many students are American Indians in the American Indian Magnet School？
