Prepare for scholarship season with the Academic Resource Center
Scholarship season is almost here, and appointments are now available at the Academic Resource Center (ARC) to help you craft high-quality essays and put your best foot forward in your applications.
Schedule an appointment at the ARC for help with brainstorming topics and themes, organizing your content, and writing something unique to you that will help scholarship reviewers get to know you better. To schedule, enter TracCloud in MyGeorgeFox, and choose “Writing Consultation” then “Scholarship Essay” to book your spot.
While you may be familiar with the OSAC Scholarships and our George Fox Donor-Funded Scholarships (both opening Sunday, Nov. 1), there are thousands more outside scholarships available to those willing to brave the application process.
Many scholarship applications are structured similarly and ask the same questions, so preparing well now can help you streamline your applications down the road. Follow the steps below to help you along in your scholarship search:
- Look through our Outside Scholarships page for links to regional and national databases that will help you find scholarships you may be eligible for.
- Review our Scholarship Essay Tips to begin piecing together your strongest content.
- Use a Scholarship Tracker to stay organized with your many applications, and a Scholarship Template to prepare answers in advance that you can copy/paste as you go!
You can contact your financial aid counselor with questions about scholarships, while questions about essay assistance can be directed to the ARC staff.
