    Give a completed Activity Form to each individual you are asking for a Letter of Recommendation (3-5 people, need at least 3). 

        · Individuals writing Letters of Recommendation don't always fill out this form and that is acceptable.

    b. Each of your copies must have original student and parent signature.
    c. This will be used as the cover for each of your scholarship application packets. (You do not need to make a cover sheet or put in a folder, etc.) All folders or bindings will be removed unless requested by the donor.
    d. Keep an original copy for your file.
     
    4. Student Statement
     
    a. On a separate page, type only one page in essay form. Write about yourself, the scholarship committee finds this useful. Information you might include:

       · Financial needs

       · Career goals

       · Interests or your passion about something

       · An unusual occurrence or special consideration

    This is a way to write about yourself (they can see your grades and activities from the other forms you include in your application packet). Be positive, and put your best effort in writing a good student statement, this can be a deciding factor for a scholarship.

    b. This is included in all your scholarship packets after the general application (it is considered part of the general application for any scholarship listed on blue paper and must be included).
