As scholarship season approaches here are some tips to help you prepare. Below are some items I had to collect for the scholarships that I applied to last year. Please note some scholarships want only digital copies while others want printed copies of your information. Each scholarship requirement is different and some require 500 word or less essay while others have no limit to the length of the essays. Prepping now will save you the time later in the process.

1. Copy the last 4 pages of your logbook and scan them into a PDF.
2. Copy all tests, certificates, and Driver Licenses into a PDF.

   Have an email copy that can be tweaked if need be.
5. Seek out two personal references that speak about your moral character.
6. Update your resume and flying hours.
7. Obtain quotes from the prospective Flight Schools/Training locations on the rating you will be
   seeking.
8. Prepare an essay on your full flying background and why you are seeking the rating. Have a 500
   word essay and a full page essay. Have at least three different people review your essay.
9. Make a list of your volunteer activities, organizations, and awards. Scan any award certificates.
10. Review your scholarship list and web sites monthly for any new scholarships that may be
    available.
    
    Keep in mind that scholarship committees are looking for the candidate that stands out and gives back. Now is the time to start volunteering if you do not already.
